There are certain colors which I tend to identify as green which other people assure me are gray. I didn’t realize this until I got into an argument with a friend about her sofa. Now I see these colors in a weird superposition of green and gray. (I see some things as unambiguously gray, and correctly identify actual green things reliably.) I’m not sure if this is an actual vision issue (it doesn’t seem to be a form of colorblindness) or what.
The amazing thing is that people usually don’t confuse gray with one of the RGB colours (or possibly with one of the colours that you get from reducing one of the above). It would seem to require a rather complicated and ongoing calibration mechanism.

It might be a form of color hypersensitivity—you might be noticing that some grays have a greenish cast.
This might be checked with artists who work with color and/or with color chips.
