Purkinje shift 

Reduction in the luminosity of a red light relative to that of a blue light when the luminances are reduced from photopic to scotopic levels of illumination. This is due to the shift of the spectral sensitivity curve from a maximum at 555 nm to 507 nm when passing from light to dark adaptation. Syn. Purkinje's phenomenon. See photochromatic interval; duplicity theory.
