I don't know about the other poster, but while I do experience all of those, I also have visual noise, color flashing and movement, even with my eyes open in bright conditions. The best description is that I basically don't see flat even colors anywhere. There is always some amount of colorful noise. It's not that bad, and I can mostly tune it out. But it is always there. I know phosphenes are normal, visual stuff that happens when you close your eyes. I have them all the time. I don't know if it's related, but I regularly get migraines that are usually not painful, just uncomfortable and accompanied by strong auras.

Visual snow[1] and scintillating scotoma[2] are associated with migraines and can be seen with the eyes open in the light. But, again, I am not a neurologist, so I would really recommend you see one to have this properly diagnosed by someone actually qualified to do so.

  It doesn't really bother me, it's just always been there, so I'm used to it. And it's harmless for all I know.
