Take the color of blood. We know that blood is red. However, if someone got transplanted eyes he/she may find it that same blood have different color as per the newly transplanted eyes.

The color which you are seeing may look differently to other person.
It depends on how eyes recieve the color and how the brain interprets the signals.
This is very difficult to answer. if one can be made to work with more than one brains, then probably, it can be answered correctly!!!

Color is subjective. While most people will see roughly the same color it does depend on each individual eye. Color comes from the way our eyes perceive light refracting off of an object. Some people have difficulty distinguishing these differences in light refraction and that's why they are color blind.

The human eye (with minor discrepancies) is developed the same in all human beings, just remeber its not the eye that "sees" it's the brain, the eye is only a transportation device for the brain to de-code the images it sends. Mostly except for color blindness, the human brain de-codes the images in the same "color" as all other human beings.

I often wonder the same thing, for instance, is the green grass I'm seeing in the summer, the same SHADE of green you are seeing? How can we compare? Maybe we could take paint chips to the grass, I pick out the color that I think looks like the green, and you pick out what you think looks like the green (of the grass) and we compare the chips to see if they really are the same color. Great question, looking forward to an answer.

i have also been wondering about this too, what if everyone sees colors different and just call it a name because thats what we know it as...what if someone sees something yellow that you see as red but because they know it as red they call it red?

funny... i asked the same question in our philosophy class this morning. i guess we'll never know because we cannot simply say... "hey, i just would like to know what color you are seeing. can i borrow your eyes for a moment?"
