My previous response was somehow deleted. Apparently, it was because I wrote it in my native language. I hope this is not discrimination, but merely a misconfigured anti-spam filter. Nevertheless, it is sad that in the age of neural networks, one has to switch to a non-native language. I want to reiterate that, similar to you, I do not suffer from aphantasia, and my visualization abilities are around the lower boundary of the norm, slightly below or slightly above. When I am in silence and close my eyes, I see colorful and fairly structured images, even if their realism is not as high as that of hyperphantasists. Details are challenging. For example, while I can see my father's jacket and jeans in all their glory, I only perceive facial features like his nose and eyes schematically. I can see his hairstyle, glasses, and hair color. However, when I find myself in a situation where it's hard to concentrate, I see colorful but rather blurry images with minimal details. These images are quite fleeting. I was able to visualize my father for just a fraction of a second before he began to blur, as if a veil of rain had covered the window through which I was looking at him.
