I do not claim to know exactly what is causing the lights and colours you are seeing, but there are many things that can be seen and heard in meditation.
The Alice Bailey books describe three types of inner light:
1. Flashing pinpoints of light which are the light of the consciousness of the atoms in the brain.
2. A diffuse golden glow which is the light of the etheric (or energy) body which activates the dense physical body.
3. A circle of brilliant sharp electric light which is the light of the Soul.
At the centre of the third type of light (the light of the Soul) we may see an indigo disc which (with concentration) radiates its own light. The indigo disc within the circle of light appears as an inner eye, which may be the true third eye. When we meditate on this light and then open our physical eyes we see everything bathed in light.
In Play of Consciousness Muktananda describes seeing the Blue Pearl which may be a variation of the indigo disc.
It may also be that as you relax into your meditation you are entering a hypnagogic state, similar to the borderline between wakefulness and sleep, where all sorts of colours and images may appear.
Or it may be that you are seeing the colours of your own aura with your inner eye.
Or it may be that you are witnessing the colours and shapes of the mental plane.
So it is difficult to give an accurate description of what you are seeing and why. All I can suggest is that you focus on whatever you are seeing, and who knows where it might lead?
Peace.
