Like, maybe "your" green looks different from "my" green... Some people are colorblind, and some animals see black and white, so why not?

Yeahh i do think that. My friend and i actually had a two hour conversasion about it. But colorblindess is the result of a problem with your eye and has nothing to do with the atctaul color one person sees. Also animals that can not see color that is also because their eye does not contain the correct things needed to see color and that as well is not related. We were all taught to call it Green or Blue but we will never really know what the other person sees. You could ask them what color is you green likeand they'll sya green bc thats what color it is to them. You might ask if its a bluish green or a bright green. They may say a blueish green but again their blue may be different than yours. This is a very controversial topic with strong beliefs towards both sides and it may be that we never find ut the true answer.

Well, some people do, but it's caused by mutations and differences in their color perception and whatnot. In other words, our greens may be different, but we'd both still see the color green with the same amount of darkness or lightness, but maybe it'd seem more yellow or blue than mine.

Yes, I used to think that all the time a while back. Then I reasoned, that since what causes color blindness is c a series of recessive genes, it's very likely that most people would see colors the same way, since the genetic code that gives the body the instructions on how to create the basic structure of our eye cells is the same.

basically the person before me got it right on the spot, although it is still very interesting to think about because there is really no way to prove anything. for all we know everyone has a much different perception of the things around us, but chances are they are near the same due to the same genetic coding.

Yeah I've thought about that and I do think there might be a slight difference in what we see.

That's so funny that you ask that, because I've wondered that, too. Like, maybe your "green" is my "red", and your "blue" is my "orange". lol.
I guess there would be no way to know that, though.

My prom dress was pink and my boyfriend said "I thought it was red". If there was a rating for question you'd get a 5.

No. But maybe Matthew in my class. He has problems with blue and purple. He thinks blue is purple.

I remember being young and wondering why everyone maintained that school buses were yellow when it seemed clear they were orange.
