Yeah, that’s a decent approximation. Same effect at twilight. Although it’s missing some really important aspect of the experience that’s hard to explain, like it’s just visually similar and lacks the aliveness that fills everything when I experience them as glowing or bright or self illuminating.
One perceptual effect I happened to read on somewhat recently is that night vision and dayvision have different color balances which makes hue contrast inversions at twilight where the relative strenghts of night vision and dayvision smoothly vary.
The hypothesis I have in mind is that experience is the result of being aware of the nightvision information channel also at day. In effect “white “is now 4 colors which is “brighter” than 3 colored white.
