I often notice this effect when lying in bed with one eye open, and the other closed on the pillow.
The closed eye will be bluer, the open redder. My own theory (backed up by nothing but a hunch) is that the closed eye adjusts its white-balance to compensate for the red light coming through the eyelid by becoming bluer.
