Technically, we could all be seeing different colors, because the only way that we can describe color is by the name. So I could be looking at what I believe to be 'green', and what you see as 'green' might be what I see as 'purple'. Think about it.
hehehe I guess I'm not alone My geometry teacher is color blind and he was telling us about it, and I've been thinking about it ever since.
I always get freaked out that the sun makes colors, and if there's no sun there's no colors. And that colors don't really exist, it's just the light that makes them visible.
I used to think that too. I kinda learned about this in class. If you adjust the "Hue" on your TV you can cycle through the primary light colours (Red, Blue Green) and interchange them. Likewise this can happen in someone's eyes, but there are tests for this, and if you fail the test, you're declared colour blind. Everyone in my class took the test, and a few people discovered they were colour blind for all their life and never knew it.
Yeah I've thought about that too, very weird. One must then question whether objective reality exists, or, even if it does, if any of us know what it is. If I see the color blue as blue, and you see it as green, which is the real one? What if objectively it's supposed to be orange? And really, we see the same color differently, what is color without a witness to it? It means we are integral to the experience of that color. That's pretty deep, think on that a while.
The end to that theoretical arguement is when a person mixes primary colors. For example person 1 can say to someone "make the color orange." Now if the colors that they thought were red and yellow were in reality blue and yellow, they would make green instead of orange, and the color that person 1 asked for would not be created. In scientific reality,,, Because different colors reflect such specific wavelengths and the visible spectrum is known, there is no way people have enough variation to go through life with one person seeing yellow, but calling it "blue" and another seeing red, also calling it "blue." People DO see shades of color with great variation to how sensitive they are to it. (ie they can tell a slight difference in shade vs. not being able to tell)
Nope, because they are taught the colors you see.... What is orange to me is green to them, but it's still orange to me, and they know it as orange but what they see is what I'd label green, but it is orange... You ended nothing...
hmm.. it would be fun to think like that but if we all saw different colours then why does everyone say the sky is blue or the leaves are green or the clouds are white??
yeh but there are universal names for all of the colours... why would there be one name for a whole bunch of colours.... hmm... my heads going to start spinning soon... and then I'll be seeing all of the colours.... (or maybe none of the colours )
Actually I did end it. Think about it for a while. The possibilities of the colors being named the same after being mixed is not very good. Mix two mixed colors to get something else and the possibility is nill. Sorry to burst your bubble guy.
Actually, if we're taught that "blue" and "yellow" equal "green" it doesn't matter that we percieve them differently, just that we all agree that these things combined equal the same thing. Maybe when I combine blue and yellow and get green, someone else does the same (so it looks the same to me) but to them, the perception is different, maybe like mixing red and green to get violet. The perception is purely subjective and personal.
i said the exact same thing to a friend about three months ago and even used the same colours as example....
well then essentially everything we interact with or feel emotionally ect is like that. who is to that two people see anything exactly the same, or feel anything exactly the same.
im so confused... so the colors that we see to our own eyes could be different to someone else's, and the only reason we all know the same colors is that when you were born everybody just told you that thoughs were the colors names...or something...im lost
Actually, the only real difference would be what we called the color, not the actual color. Most human eyes interpret the color scale in the same way, so what would be called green to me would be probably would you call green.
