Colors

[A GUY]

Colors are colors. We all know that.

But please consider the following...

What if red to me is actually purple to you, but since you've always been taught to see that color as red, you think it's red?

I know that there's all of this crazy scientific stuff
and it's all about pigs or something, I don't know even.
but anyway,

discuss.

i've always thought about that. like, i could see red as something my whole life yet for everyone else red is something else. you can't even explain colors, either.

[blockguy123]

Cool.

[A GUY]

there should be some sort of magic scale of relative colors that are proven exactly the same in vision of everyone else.

apparently pink isn't actually what we think it is
i always think of that whenever my pink nightlight is on and i'm trying to sleep

It doesn't work like that. It has to do with the Electromagnetic Visible Spectrum, we're seeing the same colors. It's basic science.

[Flamecannon]

the wonders of light and it's reflectancy, and the spectrum!
but we feel you man

yeah but you never know if you could just be one person that sees all the colors differently but they are all differently colored still so when you say something is red for example, it's red for someone else but it's pink for you but you've grown up thinking that pink color is red

[A GUY]

maybe science is a lie too

That's called being colorblind.

In other news, black is an overrated color.

[Mushroom man]

Although red is always the same colour, it is possible that different people perceive it differently. And if that is true, it would have to be something with the brain and not the eye. I see how it could be possible. And it is a very strange thought indeed.

[Sami2ss]

That's called being colorblind.

no, you misunderstand. colorblind is seeing certain colors the same as pre existing colors, such as seeing red and blue as green, and seeing green normally.

i mean that every color you see is different and in your eyes, yellow looks like white, white looks like yellow, etc.

you know there's more than one type of colorblindness right?
