Hows that a different perception of colour? if your blind you have no perception of colour at all o.0

Colour blind people don't see in just black and white though, their colours are mixed up. That's not quite the same as people having different colour perceptions though, as colour blindness is an actual physical defect in the eye.

People know what colour green is. Because at school if people need the crayon green...people dont say, 'hey dave your using a blue?'
No. They all know green is what it is.

Btw, my name isnt dave, just a random name I used.

Woa weird you brought this up because about a month ago I was thinking of this too and trying to explain it to people.

I did some research on the internet and found some stuff about the color spectrum.

I can see what you mean by seeing colors differently and some people call this color blindness. And it is possible to tell if they see colors differently because the color spectrum.

I think they can put a set of colors that are opposite and your brain can tell if they match.

If they dont match to you maybe your spectrum is off like you are saying.

I guess someone could go through life not knowing or having tests.


I am not totaly sure but do some research about this and you might find more info.

There was also something about like some women can see more colors and the trait only sometimes get passed down.

It is weird.

o.0 im not sure what to say really, becuse you kinda answerd yourself with pretty much with what i was going to say in response to what you said.

Whats your point? of cause everyone would call it green, since the've all been brought up refering to that particular impession of colour as being green, reguadeless of how they actualy expernace it o.0

Interesting question. We might think that what we see is another colour. We will never know though

[Marghk]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but its proved through the retina part of the eye that we all see the same way.

I confused myself trying to work out an answer

Your source would be quite interesting to read or look at.

I think people are getting confused between colour blindness and general perception of colours.
