Well there is this theory i came up with that has to do with colors so this is how it goes:

If see the color green what I call green..Will you see what I call green, the color i think is blue? Like lets say i see a red piece of paper we all say its red right.

but we all say its red but maybe someone sees it blue, or green of what you see...but you still call it pink if only there were word to describe colors we would know the ture meaning...do you understand?

Butterfly eyeballs can see ultra-violet colors that humans can't see.

No. No, I don't. I thought I did at first. But now I realize, I didn't.

It doesn't really matter what exact color people call the colors, as long as they realize to never mix plaids.

What color are traffic lights that mean "stop"?

apparently, this depends on what color one translates red to be.

You mean like this, right?

On the left is what I see, but on the right is what I would see if I had your eyes/brain whatever. I used to think about that.I had the hardest time trying to explain to my parents what I was talking about when I thought about this. I must have been 8 or 9 and it took me around 3 days to get them to understand me

Anyways, I wonder if its true? There's not really any way to tell. Thinking just now; could it be possible other people see things in colours I havent even seen before; and vice versa. Im getting a headache

Hmm...I thought about that once, If I see blue as blue... Maybe someone else sees blue as green.
