We are using the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Color Vision Test for studying the quality of human colour vision and found that there are differences between left and right eye. In some people only small but in others huge. I was trying to find some articles about this but I was short of luck. Can you suggest me some?
You can use the nomogram found in:
Han DP and Thompson HS (1983) Nomograms for the Assessment of Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue Test Scores. Am Journal of Ophthalmology 95: 622–625
to determine if the values you obtained fall outside the normal ranges from their study.
There are a number of other articles that describe unilateral congenital loss:

Just think of daltonism and all other varieties of colour blindness
even think on the few people having different degrees of colour blindness in their both eyes, they have a different colour perception depending on the eye even on the same subject.
So for me it is not difficult to jum over and guess that this also happens among and between individuals
