Question
Hi!I have a question I really want to n=know the answer.
Is it true that some people see colour differently, such as red as yellow and blue as orange, etc,due to different perception of brain of colour?Has it be scientifically proven yet?
Hi Rambo; There are degrees of colorblindness which is inherited. In fact one in eleven males are colorblind and have problems distinguishing colors. With normal vision it is most likely that colors appear the same to everybody. The problem is that we cannot test this since there is no way we can see as others see. It is not what we see as a color but the word we attach to it that matters
