Do you REALLY see what I see?

If everybody has been brought up knowing the colour green..is called green.
Then it is green right?

You can't assume that everyone is suddenly going to find out they're colour blind. An easy way to realise that everyone sees the same thing is within design and the colours we think go nice together. Someone mentioned that the forum would look manky to some people because all the colours would be mixed up. Besides, you can just take a colour blind test or whatever those things are, when they have an image hidden within another image made entirely of blotches, to someone who is colour blind, s/he wouldn't be able to see the hidden images because of the contrast of colours, where as a non-colour blind person could.

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

no ones asking about how the light rays entering your eye, a formed in to the signals going to your brain, its completely irrelivent to the question. The question is based on the persption of that data, how the light rays entering are eyes are interpited by our brains and represented to our consious mind, green is only the perception of that colour, and own indervidual interpretation,

Colour blindness is caused by damage to the eye meaning certain colour cones do not function correctly meaning the data sent to the brain is not the correct data for the partical light ray hitting it, but instead one for the wrong colour.
Again its irrelivent as the question is about how are brain interpits this sence data in to our persptions of it, after all we are not aware conusly of how that proccess is happening are we

All very confusing... But there's a few questions like this that we will never know the answer too...

I guess this is just one, so really, there's no need to debate over it, we're not going to get an answer anyway, but I guess it's fun to see what other people think.

um if my orange is your purple and my yellow is your green wouldn't the hxf skin look weird & manky to me?

But this now goes into fashion. Even if you saw habbox skin as blue and red, fashion is that powerful you'd say its nice!

Im not too sure that when a baby is born all the colours are mixed up like that. If the baby saw the sun as blue, and then was told the sun was yellow, He would assume the colour Blue was yellow, however the colour of the sun would not change to yellow. However in time, im sure he would find out that Blue is actually the colour yellow.

sorry if that didnt make sense lol

It didnt, since you made a logical error, if he sees the sun as how we would see blue (but calls it yellow like everyone else) everything yellow would appear the same, dispite the fact differnt people may perseave that same colour in differnt ways. So theres no way they could ever learn of the differnce in perseptions, hence the debate.

I'm sorry and I mean no offence but I have no idea what you're talking about, your spelling is horrific.

Run threw spell check...

Colour blindness is caused by damage to the eye meaning certain colour cones do not function correctly, meaning the data sent to the brain is not the correct data for the particular light ray hitting it, but instead one for the wrong colour.
Again its irrelevant as the question is about how are brain interprets this sense data in to our perceptions of it, after all we are not aware consciously of how that process is happening are we

I'm sorry and I mean no offense but I have no idea what you're talking about, your spelling is horrific.

Or re-said?
Colour blindness is to do with damage to the eyes.
It means the eye sends the wrong signals to the brain.
Our perception is caused by how are brain interprets these signals, and represents them to our conscious mind.
So colour blindness is somewhat irrelevant to this debate topic.

EH lol

but surely if he was at school and the teacher said that the COLOUR yellow was called YELLOW (and he thought it was blue) then he would be corrected
