Eastern newts may travel far from their original location during the eft stage. They are most active during warm rainy periods—warmer than 53 °F (12 °C)—and will hide under leaf litter in dry weather. [12] Red efts may often be seen in a forest after a rainstorm. Adults prefer a muddy aquatic habitat, but will move to land during a dry spell.

Some patients notice that certain colors, particularly red, are less bright or vivid; others have a general loss of color perception.
Such findings may give an evolutionary reason for the high rate of red–green color blindness. [18] There is also a study suggesting that people with some types of color blindness can distinguish colors that people with normal color vision are not able to distinguish. [17] In World War II, color blind observers were used to penetrate camouflage.
