This shit doesn't happen with me. What the hell are you on?

Happens with me OP. I dunno what it is, I always thought it was due to my terrible near sighted-ness.

Same reason shit looks blurry at any range if your eyes aren't focused for the proper range. The light doesn't get focused to where it needs to go so it distorts the image.

Go read up on optics or something.

Something is wrong with you.

It doesn't just happen with fingers. Basically if there is a light source and two objects, and the light source can make a straight line from it to my eye, and the two objects are near to the straight line, weird rainbow outlines appear on the edges of the objects from my perspective. Like this

Chromatic aberration, perhaps? I've no idea what you're talking about.

either you're looking at some really bright fucking lights or your visual cortex is taking a few liberties when it processes the visual input from your retina.

That's to do with lenses. While it may partially explain why the colours are actually there, I still have no idea why they only appear when brought into the blur zone of another object.

Maybe the light waves are cancelling each other out?

I get the same shit OP, same colors too.
I wear contacts and it does it on my LCD monitor and to a lesser extent on my white walls with fluorescent lighting.

Not sure if you noticed this but the blue side is always on the blurry finger side, no matter which eye/hand you use.

Yeah I noticed that too. I don't wear contacts though, and last time I went to the opticians they said I had perfect vision.

Actually I just asked my sister to do it. She reported that the blue is on the opposite side.

It is a mystery.

It's the same reason a prism makes a rainbow from white light.
