No, Akiko, I mean that, if the 'true' color of something is blue, but we as humans aren't able to perceive it as the true color of blue that it is, but as another color entirely, say red, then to us it wouldn't be blue but red, now would it? It wouldn't matter if to the universe at large the color is blue. If to human eyes it can only visible as red, then as far as we humans are concerned, it IS red. |

The only thing you can probably say for sure is that black things are black (or at least really dark colors), since they reflect little to no light :U With regards to this "what if things are actually different colors" thing, of course. |

...but that's mostly to do with the way their eyes are structured isn't it? That's why I don't think the red=purple for some people and red=red for other people theory works. All human eyes are built with the same basic structure. Or maybe I'm just completely off... I'm not a physiology expert or anything. |

Compound eyes aren't good at detecting detail; they're more for movement. Also, again, black is what you see when you can't see any light, so bees just can't see the red light reflecting back, I guess. Also, Bowse, there ARE some birth defects (well, not like it's Down Syndrome or anything, but it is genetic) where people can't see red and green; it's like a different type of color blind. Also some people see certain colors when they hear certain words...so basically, everyone perceives color the same way (albeit some people are better than others), but genetic defects and whatnot can mess up your eyes and such. |

There is no 'true' colour. Colour is something that humans invented to describe the sensations in their eyes, it does not exist as a 'thing' outside of humans. Wavelengths and the sums thereof are a different story, and those do not carry any attribute of 'true colour-ness' like what is being discussed. |

O_o I've never thought of it like that. Although I do know about the light reflecting of a surface thing. ~mao... |

It's funny, I used to think I was the only one who ever had this theory. Then I found out that approximately half of the people I knew had considered it as well. |

@Gil: I'm confused, does down syndrome affect colored vision, or were you just citing it as a genetic disease? Not critiquing, I just worked with a girl who had down syndrome at daycamp this year and am curious o.o @Arty: Your post at the top of the page totally brought my religion classes to mind XD That sense of the 'unimaginable' or 'unconcievable' comes up a lot in theology, so I had a happy face-palm moment when I read that post. |

No, Down Syndrome doesn't affect colored vision, I was just citing that both are genetic, yeah. Down Syndrome is what happens when you have three pairs of chromosome 21, correct? Color blindness is similar in that it's genetic, but it's a bit different. The gene for color vision is located on the X chromosome, but it's recessive. So if you have one X chromosome that is color blind but another that is not, you can still see colors just fine. Incidentally, since males only have one X chromosome, they're screwed if that X one has the gene for color blindness. That said, I'm not sure if there's other genes in the eyes that can affect how we see; that's just color blind in general. |

I understand color blindness, I just meant that in general our eyes should see the same thing, because in general, they're the same. =/ |
