Answer to the "What if my green is your blue?" question.
51 replies, posted
The problem here isn't how you define light.
It is as some others say the way your brain interpreter the color you see.
For example, everyone says that the leaves on a tree are green right (not counting fall or any strange trees. A normal tree in the summer)?
BUT, the way your brain interpreter can differ from the way your friends brain interpreter it. So what your brain interpreter as green might be interpreter as to what would equal blue for you.
But you both know it's green, since you've been told it's green from the beginning.
If that makes sense at all ...
How the hell can they be different colors? It's part of an electromagnetic spectrum , it doesn't change depending on who sees it , therefore everyone sees the same.
Unless they have weird eyes.

you don't get it
[QUOTE=slashsnemesis;24570558]Well that still doesn't explain the mindfuck. Say you have two non-colorblind persons. You show them a red card, they should both agree that it is red, right?

This is red, correct?[/QUOTE]
They're seeing that colour as red. THAT colour. There's no way to know that they're seeing it in the same way though.

To me, I see 3 'boxes' of different shades of gray, and one on the right of the bottom gray box is more greenish (I think). But that's just because I see colours weird.[/QUOTE]
Congratulations, you have a form of colourblindness that doesn't exist and that you just made up to get attention. But if you want to prove me wrong, you could name which form of colourblindness you have

It's called color blindness, but either way, it's perception, because someone else might perceive a color as something else.
Ah now I've confused myself, good going.

It's not how you "see" it. It's what your brain tells you it is/looks like.

No, colourblindness is usually an eye problem.
All colors are perceived the same way for everyone, end of story. Unless you're colorblind.

That can't be proven.

True, but that wasn't the point.

I'm sure it could be, like taking a dead body's eye out and doing SCIENCE with it.

we just stated that the the brain processes the information your eye picks up

The brain can SEE the same thing and perceive it totally different from another brain.
For example two people get a triple bypass, one see's it as a miracle from a higher power, and the other person see's it as a testament to modern medicinal sciences.
Same thing, different ways it was perceived.

To me this is a red, but if you were to randomly just ask me what color this is I would say dark red, although not a maroon or mahogany as those are mixed with more blue and black.
This is as about true red as I could find.

Perhaps I perceive this because I have been exposed to more color deviations.
You sound like an interior designer, so I gave you a gaybow :3:
Interior designer? Maybe.
Girl who likes colors and junk? Yes.
:wink:
This is the most helpful thing on this I've read.
girls see 1/6 more color due to them having more color sensitive nerves. because the dna that codes for the extra 1/6 is in the part that is missing from the y chromasome
I have incomplete achromatopsia, which in conditions that have bright light, most of the color washes out of the environment. But here is the mindfuckery: due to the fact I've seen most of my environment at low light conditions, I interpret colors in bright light without perceiving them.
Okay, It's not that much of a mindfuck, I just remember the colors. But anyways, my point still holds, colors can be interpreted without perception, it depends on many variables.
im color blind i can only see ducks
