do we all see the same colors?
if we are all loking at this.... huh we see blue.. becuse we are
tought that it is blue... but how do we know that the color that i see
as blue is not the color that you see as green, but we are tought that
huh is blue.... and sick is green.. but maybe im seing blue n
green, but if i were to look thru you r eyes i would see green then
blue... and what if all of our favorite colors are teh same, but we see
colors differently...
does this make ANY sence to anyone?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

we all see colors the same unless we are color blind....colors are the
way they are because of how much light is reflected i think!!!

No we don't all see colour the same. It is all perception. Blue is
blue for you...however you see it is real for you.


There is also cross wiring that can happen in the brain where their
senses get wired differently...hearing colours, tasting shapes

... this salad tastes pointed

... that music sounds purple

It is really quite fascinating.

thank you!! this has been floatin round in my head for some time now, im
thinkin im crazy, n i finaly get the courage to ask my family, n after
an hour of explaining, only my dad (crazy trust me) understood what i
was tryin to say.... n everyone else just gave me the "whatever you say
crazy lady" look.. hehe



and yes the colors are the same due to lightn stuff, but the
percepition and what our brain sees is different, so what i see as red
could be buttons blue, but we are tought that red is red using visual
aides to see..

yes that is true izzie ...but when you are young and learning your
colours ... someone holds up a card and says it is red ... whatever it
is that you perceive that colour to be - you will call it red.

Iz -- Did you ever think about what would happen if everybody told you
that the sun was green all your life? And you would believe it because
everybody was totally convinced even though it didn't match the "green"
of grass or cucumbers or anything.
Even though the sun is more the color of a banana or something, they
would say, "No, it's still green, it's just an exception, like when a
word starts with a silent G or K."


Who named the colors?

And how do we know they were right?

Well, think about it, a name, a word, all it is is a bunch of letters in
a particular order designed to create particular phonetic sounds in a
sequence.

But any MEANING we ascribe to that sequence is entirely arbitrary. If
we were all mass-hypnotized into believing the color "red" was now
called "habablabalplap" we would all be walking around saying, "Doesn't
she look bloated in that habablabalplap dress? Perhaps she could use
some Activia."

That's the kind of thing I think about all day.

I have, as long as I can remember, seen different shades of color from
each of my eyes. As though one sees the brightness and intensity and the
other focuses on the tones.

But, then again, I'm not really from this planet...

Nus, that's because the sun is always slightly farther away from one
eye. Even at night.
