Surely it is plausible that an organism that evolved vision under particular lighting conditions would develop vision adapated to those lighting conditions.

I’m not telling you it’s not worthwhile to come up with ways to test the claim if you want to be rigorous (e.g. you could measure the wavelength sensitivities of the vision of nocturnal or underwater animals and see if there’s a pattern). But to me it’s pretty self-evident as a starting point at least.
