Okay this is really hard to explain in real life, which leads me to believe that it's even harder to explain through the internet. Here we go...
What if my "red" was your "green"? What if what I see as red is actually green in your mind, and you just call it red? If anyone knows what I'm talking about, please help me explain it to people that don't know what I'm talking about.
This theory might explain why people have different favorite colors.
I'm not sure if I figured this out right, but how could they be different colors if people are able to describe what the color looks like? My armatar is green, which is a mixture between yellow and blue. Everyone would agree with me. No one will say that green is really a mixture between red and orange.
People might not see the same yellow, blue, red or orange.
i acctually experience this myself, i see a dark shade of gray while every one else sees black...
Although the universe is based on perception, there are two things that disprove this:
1. Human's have DNA that is too similar for a mix up in color perception
and
2. It's not the human that percieves color, but the object that gives off light. Humans would need tinted eyes to percieve colors differently, and even then the colors would be limited to combinations with that tint. To Someone with red tintned eyes, green would look like grey to them, although they would still call it green based on what they where told it was called. The only exception to these rules are color blind people, who barely percieve colors at all.
However, here's another thing to think about:
Are black and white really as we percieve them, or are they two different colors that we can't see with our eyes, just as their are animals who can't percieve colors that we notice?
when the sun shines on an object it absorbs only one of these colors from the visual spectrum (ifi remembered right), yes this is correct. your human eyes collects this color, shoots it to the visual cortex (back of your head) where it is processed and remembered as *name*. all human brains are different so i'd guess all visual cortexes are aswell. so humans do percieve the color but it is stereotyped for general understanding.
agh it's bugging me! do objects absorb all but 1 color or none but 1 color?
objects absorb all but one color. actually several colors are reflected. so if and object looks orange it is reflecting red and yellow and absorbing all other colors
