No... and maybe! After working as a 'colorist,' artist and designer.... I would say not. "We see colors via "rods" and "cones" in our eyes. The rods, color-vision, come in three types receptive to red, green and blue. Every person has RGB cones that are triggered by boundaries of slightly different wavelengths, so that everyone perceives the precise colors slightly differently, giving each one a slightly different band width, and intensity. An extreme and solid example is colour blindness: this informs us clearly that some people can have radically different perception of colors, except that in most cases the differences are much smaller. Our life experiences and upbringing affects the clarity with which we see colours. As no two people have the same experiences, all people do view colours slightly differently for both genetic and historical reasons." I know this is true as my son calls his green shirt his gray shirt... and he is not color-blind:)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - texture of colour can be seen by those who look for it - microslight differences in colouring can be seen by those looking for them - the majority of people perceive blue as blue though the thousands of shading counterparts do not.
Visual capability is impaired by those who are colour blind those that look for perfection will see differences in texture.
An example maybe in photography quality films. ASA 100 is much less then ASA 400 and higher ranges..they all offer deeper textures to light absorbsion.

We had a huge discussion about this a couple of months ago. Everyone had their own opinions. It's hard to know whether or not it is the same. You can't look through my eyes and then your own again can you? I suppose the answer could be whatever you believe. Thats the only way you can answer that.

That's a question I started asking my mother when I was about 3. To my frustration she would always say that she did not know. I would say that there are certainly variants within perception. There is no concrete objective world out there which lends itself to the question of "What is reality?". The variation of the perception of colors is certainly the tip of the proverbial ice berg in the grand scheme of things. But it's a good question. ;-)

Colors look different to my husband than they do to me because he's colorblind. But, no, I don't think colors look the same to everyone.

It's not that big of a discussion. Unless you are colorblind then it looks the same to everyone.
