I have comparatively uninteresting/normal vision (biggest issue shortsightedness) but I have this too. My left eye sees more blue, my right eye more red. Looks like the cone distribution wasn't perfect.

I'm not sure, but I think the sun's rays don't have much of a blue component: my left eye gets fractionally less sore from bright sunlight, so if it's really bright out I'll generally be closing my right eye.

The sun emits black body radiation with a 5800K temperature, which means its emissions peaks at yellow-greenish, but it still emits around 90% of blue compared to green

How about compared to red? That might suggest whether exikyut's experience (red-seeing eye more light-sensitive than blue-seeing eye) is coincidence or related.
