It's just that your retina transfers the received photons instantly to your brain.
Hence no colour in low light. Not enough time.
As explained, a film, CMOS or CCD has more time to collect the photons before storing.
Think in reverse.
In daylight the exposure time is very short but at night it has to be increased.
Your eye cannot do this 'increased time' process.
Simple.
