Does the Human Eye White Balance?
The human brain white balances, the eyes do not, but the process is not instantaneous.

the easiest way to see this is to make a person wear colored lenses they will soon see colors normally again, but will need to readjust, taking a similar length of time,  once the glasses are removed.  

Your eyes will balance an image back to white , but it takes time, and may happen faster in a landscape image.

there is a great ted talk showing a major aspect of this visually.

you can also see it with common photo negative color illusions. 

Stare at the center dot on this for a minute then look at the second image. 





you will see that the as the brain adjusts color balance you can use the lag as the eye readjusts to see false color in black and white images.
