Sometimes i feel as though i can see light or colors when in a dark room, getting ready for bed, or when my eyes are just closed. is this normal?

Mind playing tricks: I wouldn't be concerned about it unless u have other symptoms or problems. The brain is trying hard to see something and creating that illusion that something is there. Kind of like a phantom limb. Tinnitus is the same way. If u can't hear ur brains starts creating sound
