The eclipse will affect your eyes by what is known as the Purkinje effect.

As the eclipse nears totality, about five minutes prior, the human eye enters the mesopic vision zone, where surroundings begin to look less colorful, turning a gray and silvery color. As the sky darkens, colors, especially warmer ones like red and orange, start to lose vibrancy and saturation, mixing in with the grays. Meanwhile, green shades become brighter and more vibrant. - indystar.com
