Last time I looked the theory was that there are three different pigments
in the cones (color-vision cells) of the eye.  I suspect one of the pigments
or it's associated neural net elements become fatigued, so that when you
switch to a white or neutral stimulation the output is not quite balanced,
and a perception of a pale color results...
