Your retina does not have a homogenous layout of light sensitive cells. Some respond to black and white and some respond to colour. Those that respond to black and white are found more in the periphery of the eye, where an object would land if it’s in your peripheral vision. At night, light is made up of black and white.

Edit: spelling.
