Same Colors? Or Different?

crayons.

If we both perceive a color of 550nm green, our eyes receive this light and send it to our brains where the electrical nerve signals are interpreted as a certain color. What the eyes see aren't as important as what signals the brains get. If a 400nm violet sends the same signals in one person as the 550nm green in another person, the signals could be interchanged and the persons would perceive no change in color.

We both know a particular color might be "red" because that's what we know a certain wavelength of light to be. Call it memory from experience. How to explain the color to someone who has no experience with it (blind from birth)?

I've often wondered this same thing myself. I'm a graphics designer and I've trained a few people, and it amazes me how I can describe certain colors, but they don't see them as those colors. We also have to color correct photos and cardstocks and scrapbook papers to what the actual project looks like, and yet when I get them, they look slightly off....perhaps it looks normal and perfect to what their eyes see, but to my eyes they are off.

How can we know unless we can see through your eyes and you ourn? We would have to first define our terms and agree upon a set language with which to describe those colors.

My right eye see colors a shade brighter than my left eye. So yeah, I'm sure we all see colors differently. And don't forget color blindness!

They most likely are not the same. That where all the disagreement comes from.

Edit; I assume we are talking about more than just colors.

now these are the types of questions i wish ppl would ask more. oh yea, good luck on ur answer l8r. cones and rods

I've often wondered this... I guess it's why some people go years and never know they are color blind....

That's very interesting. I think they've done studies on that.

lmao you know i have thought of that before too. i guess it works and all...

idk

ugh

thaat is so difficult when you think about it!!!
