if, hypothetically, you had been born without vision at all. your eyes entirely non-functional.
for you, in that situation, the existance of color would be something you would be 100% incapable of perceiving.
thus, would you believe it existed, because so many others told you it did, and you just couldn't see it, or would you insist that it did not exist?
what if you, and say, 8 other similar people were in a room with 1 sighted person. would color then be a delusion for that 1 person?
and to turn it around, if you were the 1 sighted person in a room full of people who were born without vision, would you doubt that the color you could percieve, was real, because you were in the minority? or would you have enough confidence (faith?) in your own perceptive capability, to know that you saw it, even if the others around you could not.
