Is the way I see colors the same as how you see them? Is my red the same as your red?

Answer 1

The answer has to be no. The reason is simple. What you see as red is what you are told is red. We only see wave lengths of electromagnetic radiation. What you perceive as color is only differences in wave length. What ever your brain has as it's holographic chemical imprint for a certain perceived wavelength is only related to what the reference you are taught as a child. You only perceive the differences..... Actually color is subjective. So is everything else for that matter...

Answer 2

Allot of people are color blind, so your red is NOT the sames as yours. If you ask a blind person what you look like. The answer would surprise you. Many of them are very intuitive even though they see nothing. (You seem smart enuf to know the answer to this question)

Answer 3

probably not-

I've often wondered about things like that. We know that we all have different perspectives on the world on one level- based on where we were born, how we were raised, our experiences. But on a different level- we describe our sensory experiences in a similar way but are they really the same?

we'll never know, will we-

Answer 4

well lets see.This is kinda close but my friends and I were at the mall and there was a shirt and the 3 of us thought is was different colors I mean I know it was blue but one said black and another said some ****** up gay color that only women say.So iono we see things differently its all in the way we were taught.

Answer 5

Read Wittgenstein. He covered this regarding pain - is my pain as sharp, or hot as your pain, how can we compare ? Pains are private. But colors are not - the similarity of your sensory skills can be precisely compared to others.
