colors, people, etc...

OK, bear with me if you think I'm totally crazy...but this is the stuff that runs in my mind and has since I was very young...

I believe colors are seen differently by ALL people. This means that what I see as "yellow" and even "bright" yellow, is NOT the same as what someone else sees as "yellow" or "bright" yellow...The only reason we BOTH call it yellow is because at schools, etc. when we are shown a color and told that is the name of the color, we learn that what we see (whatever that really looks like to each of us), is known as yellow.

So, technically, I think that I might call it yellow and see it as yellow, but you call it yellow, but really, you see it as orange...it's just that when you look at orange, someone told you it was yellow...

Ahhhh...OK, I think I'm wearing myself out.

People...and this actually a few months ago I found out that many others thought this way and I've thought this way since I was 5-6...there is someone, somewhere, doing exactly what I am doing right now...there is at least one other person typing what I am typing right now...sometimes we do exactly the same thing and sometimes we make different choices...hmmm

OK, going to bed...my head hurts.

I've had random thoughts about this before and there's really no way to prove it. I've also wondered whether eye color can affect the way you see individual colors but if people are able to make the same connections and call the colors the same things there's really no way to tell.

Where did you find my clone??????

I've read that many people suffer from Deuteranopia, Protanopia, Tritanopia. Well, not a lot lot lott, but more people than I believed, that must explain why someone calls red something orange.

yes, a clone...haha...

Darn, I've been told too many times I look just like Reese Witherspoon...too bad I'm not really her clone...sigh...

Yeah, maybe I took literally that whole "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"...hehe...
