You know how when people are color blind, they see grey in place of red or blue or whatever color they cant see? Well what im saying is what if the color grey that normal non-color blind people see is actually a color that we're ALL color blind too?

oh, to take someones eyes and put them in your head, what amazings colors you would see. What is red to me may be blue to others, what is grey to me may be orange to others and it is only the words associated with the colors that make them the same colors. I have often wondered this myself.
I have heard of people getting an eye transplant that say that colors look different. It probable has to do with the way the new eye transmits the signal to the brain. However if you reall what to gather so evidence for a theorical research topic, it would not be a bad place to start.

Color is kind of a concept. Like numbers. We put a lable on it, thus it is. There are animals that see colors differently, but to us red is red. So because everyone sees it as grey, it´s grey. Kind of hard to explain, but there´s my two cents.

I know what you mean. I've always wondered if the colors we see are the same as the colors other people see. We identify them by the same name, but do they appear the same to everyone?
I believe this is one of those things we'll never know for sure. But thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in my questioning...

What do you mean by "actually a color?" If nobody can see it then how is it a color?

this has been well tested and is a statistic of fact . the labels are established for the norm or majority and there is no disputing it .
