To those people who used to be able to see and now can't, what colour do you see. Sorry if I'm being rude I'm just really curious

I have hallucinations as if I could still see which are crisp in my left eye and blurry in my right eye, which is strange since my right eye used to be the good eye and was also the one that lost vision last. I know this isn't real vision because it remains when I close my eyes, I can't see my phone's flashlight, and the visions are completely inaccurate when I'm in unfamiliar places.
I've tried to research this but found nothing conclusive. I've heard of the Charles Bonnet syndrome but this seems to be more complex than that.

Charles Bonnet syndrome can do pretty complex objects (people, places and objects). The fact that you recognize they are hallucinations and not real make it seem more like to be Charles Bonnet. Have you talked to your doctor about it?

Not to my ophthalmologists as I haven't had an appointment with any of them since going blind, but I've been having routine check ups with psychiatrists and they know it. I've been on anti-psychotics ever since I went blind because I had a psychotic break triggered by an exchange of legal arguments over my disability benefits and partially fueled by this, however my current psychiatrist is in the process of phasing them out.

I wouldn’t say there was any color to it but If I concentrate hard I would say I could see colors if I think about them. If I think blue the color blue can appear. I have no way to verify I am correct, but I also have an incredible memory so I am sure they are more right than not. I was a really sensy kid. I loved colors and textures. I couldn’t ever see more than a foot in front of me but yeah. I loved colors and I love those collidascopes. And stuff like that.

It’s a sort of green gray cloud with greenish blue neon purple swirls and a yellow almost white that occasionally swims through my field of vision, so to speak. Oh and the whole thing is a little bit flickery isn’t the right word but not entirely unlike old school TV snow.

Have you tried closing your eyes? Just a thought.

I remember seeing a video of a woman saying she couldn't describe what colour she sees
