What if we all saw colors differently. What I see as red could be different for you. It is just what "color" was labeled that name for you. So everybody could see colors differently. For example: If you taught a child that "blue" is really red then when you asked a child what a "blue" box is, they would say red. So this means humans could see all colors differently. If you follow. And do you think blind people see the color black constantly or don't see any color... if you know what i mean.

i think that its possible but the colors people see would have to be exsact opposites, because people can describe the colors they see to each other by describing contrast or brightness. so the colors they see could not just be random.
color wheel
yellow-purple
orange-blue
green- red
red- green
blue- orange
purple-yellow
what one person sees as purple, another would have to see as yellow
person 1 person 2
purple yellow
red green
orange blue
if these 2 people were trying to compare colors they see they think they would see the same colors because one would think that bright was dark and visa versa.
but if the colors were selected randomly we would know because one person would see yellow as "dark" and one would see orange as bright, or something

Quale (plural Qualia) :
1 : a property (as redness) considered apart from things having the property : UNIVERSAL
2 : a property as it is experienced as distinct from any source it might have in a physical object

Red - Cyan
Green - Magenta
Blue - Yellow
Cyan - Red
Magenta - Green
Yellow - Blue

The colours you refer to are artistic blends. These are the colours you see in photo negatives. Likewise, in art, Black is all colours and white is no colour, but with light, white is all colours and black is no colour.
