Do I See Colors the Same Way You Do?

Ғылым және технология

Is the way you see color the same way everyone else does? And for that matter, what about those who are color blind? Anthony throws on his rose-colored glasses and takes a look.

    Gabriel Albriktsen You see the thing is, everyone sees color obviously. But, no one knows if everyone sees colors the same way. Cause some people have color blindness and others don't. So when your taught colors in school they we tell you what the name of each color is, but what blue looks like to them, my be red to you. Or you could mix up colors like blue, gold, white, black. But no one would be able to know cause it's impossible for scientists to find out.

    So... if we all perceive color differently, and how I see red can be how you see blue... what if we all have the same favorite color, but we're pulling that color from different wavelengths on the color spectrum?

    i think that since we all have the same cone cells in our retina and they perceive the colors depending on the wave length that the object is reflecting to our eyes (so the wavelength is the same) means that we all see green, blue or any other color, but the number of each cone cell differs with each person, so we see different shades of the same color

    I think colors are the same for everyone especially since blending colors makes similar colors. For example when you blend red with blue, you get purple which is similar to both red and blue. In addition the color wheel shows us how each color is related to each other. If colors were different for everyone, then in theory the color wheel would also be wrong right? According to the color wheel complementary colors look pleasing next to each other. So if colors were different for everyone, then how come complementary colors specifically, look good together? If colors were different for everyone, I would assume that colors on the color wheel would stay the same, but just spun around, if that makes any sense. So red and green to me would look like purple and yellow to someone else. The colors would still be complementary colors and have the same relationships with other colors, they’re just flipped around. Or perhaps red and green would switch to green to red. But this of course is absolutely wrong. As we know, the rainbow starts off with a primary color, ends with a secondary color, and is in the order of the color wheel. So if the complimentary colors switched around, this would mean that the rainbow would appear to start with a secondary color, but this is impossible, because when mixing primary colors, we get a secondary color, but when mixing secondary colors, we get a tertiary color or something like that, if I remember correctly. So if colors were different for everyone, then the primary colors would switch around, because they make up everything. But what do I know? I’m just a colorblind 16 year old.

    Hey, what about that program called f.lux? It makes your computer less white/blue and more red and warm. It doesn't seem as bright, and therefore it doesn't hurt my eyes as much. And furthermore, the reduction in brightness (assuming that it's truely less bright) reduces the deficit in melatonin when you're working at your computer during the night. So how does that work? Should f.lux put blue light on your monitor, or should it stay the same?

Is there a variance or was it just a slip of the tongue? With paint the primary colours are red, yellow, and blue, while printers have the red, green, and blue colour scale.. do colours of light mix differently than colours of paint or am I missing something...

    I think that there are small differences in the *shade* of the color for every person, but not the color itself. For example, if an object looks orange to me, someone else will also percieve it as orange, but it could be a slightly lighter or darker shade of orange. Only slightly.

Even if I saw your green when I looked at blue, we would both call it blue because our parents told us that objects of that color are blue regardless of our perception. The really interesting thing is, this could be true of all senses! Just imagine how many different and unique ways people could be experiencing life without even realizing the differences because they're all lost in our collective symbolic representation of what we think is objective reality! This is often regarded as "The Problem of Qualia".

    My question would be, if our eyes were mutated to sense ultraviolet or infrared radiation, what would it look like? It can't be a color that we know of, yet it still would behave like a color. My theory is that it is impossible to know what it would look like. Our brains would be taking in a new type of information.

    You're right. Currently, it's impossible. But, in the future, once we figure out how to send signals to our brain, though, using technology, (already somewhat possible in deaf people with advanced hearing aids) we'd be able to artificially experience, and "feel" what these colors would look like.

    Here's an interesting concept: Magenta isn't a colour. What?! That's right, magenta isn't a colour. It's a concept thought up by our brains when we see equal parts red and violet, the two opposite ends of the colour spectrum. Check it out... usually when we see 2 colours of the spectrum, like red and yellow light, our brain sees orange, the colour in between. The colour in between red and violet is green, which isn't very close to red or violet. So our brain invents a new one, magenta :D

I also think it varies even more with the amount of light that is added. Actually with this seeing i've got a question. How is it i get discussions with people about what color things are? I've been tested for colorblindness but i'm not but i seem to see colors differently then my friends. When they see black f.e. i see a dark blue or dark brown, and i can go on with examples... What is it then when i see color while others see just white or black?

    TheMLGBoX Immensely. Well, if you're interested, key has to do with the tune of the entire piece. It basically establishes the rule for which pitches you will use throughout the music. Key technically can't be wrong, only the pitch, as you can transpose the key into other keys. For example, D-Major is a key of music, if you're interested in a good example of this "Canon in D" by Pachelbel is a really good song. It's also been transposed to "Canon in C". You can hear the differences but because the pitch is right, it doesn't sound off. In art, Key would be like painting the exact same painting with slightly different shades. Pitch is the individual note. It's the difference between A#(sharp), and A. In art, it would be like painting with Lime Green as opposed to chartreuse (when the key says to use chartreuse). Slightly different, and throws the entire piece off because of the way the notes work together.

Even if you were a little late to the punch, you did it by yourself without being told beforehand that a FEW people have thought this way. That makes you rather unique in a sense. Though I used to ponder this when I was like 6 and learned that each brain interprets information differently, but now I lean towards people all see the same color similarly because of the way our eardrums interpret sound.

    I thought of it as a kid too but I also went a bit further and thought about shapes and sounds as well as colors. The whole perception of reality could be utterly different from person to person. For example you see a ball and it feels round when you touch it but I see a cube and I can feel it's edges and flat sides when I touch it. And we have no way of communicating this to each other because when you say ball I hear cube but we don't really hear the same thing anyway because what sounds like English to you might sound to me the same way Greek sounds to you. But I believe it's English and you think it's English and it's so fucking confusing...

Like, everyone would see red, but if you had blue eyes, you would see red with a ting of blue over it, whereas brown eyed people would see red with a hue of brown. I don't know, it's just me, I know. I mostly thought this, because I have green eyes, and I feel like I see tints of green in everything.

    Hmmm... some of the facts concerning the colour of light at certain times of the day are wrong, factually, which means the conclusions drawn are not accurate, logically. Yellow light does NOT come at midday. 1) Early dawn light, such as there is, is very blue. 2) At the moment of dawn the light becomes very yellow, even red. 3) The yellowness fades over the next 2 hours. 4) At noon the light is very slightly blue... how blue depends on your latitude. 5) 2 hours before sunset the light starts to become noticeably yellow again. 6) At sunset the light becomes very yellow, even red... (you may have noticed! And yes this IS the same as dawn, but in reverse.) 7) After sunset the light becomes more and MORE blue.. until full darkness, awaiting a new dawn. The above colours are for clear sun.... conditions of overcast will tend to mask these differences, but not completely.Check out "Colour Temperature of Daylight"

    Exactly this question was in my mind from such a long time

    One useful thing I learned that will truly help in the future, being a future teacher, is that my classroom should mostly, probably, consist of blue and orange tones. Keep them energized (hopefully about learning), but calm (enough for them to pay attention). Hopefully.

    im sorry im not done w/ the video yet so if they mentioned it my bad but how do the majority of people think certain colors match or go well together?

    perhaps what colors match is a learned behavior... When you think of a small child's fashion sense it's believable.

    and also what is close together on a spectrum is the same regardless how we "see" it.

    Alexandria B I'm not sure that's true because I didn't have to be taught neon green and black match or wearing dark blue sweatpants and a black shirt make you look like an idiot .

    Eseer Eroom if your red is my green, then you don't know that color as anything but red. So in your mind red and another color match, but since I don't see your red as my red, they match the same.

    i just read that fast have to go soon but than how do millions of people agree wearing dark blue and black look bad together? if what your saying is true than there would be lots of people that say two colors don't match but then there would lots of other people who say the oppisite. so the fact that i don't see this happen almost ever tells me that most likely the majority of the population see colors very similarly. the reason colors match is because of contrast and if we saw colors differently than there wouldn't be consistant contrast. but this is just my opinion

    I'm not at artist and I noticed the different green square. I'm an engineering student, so attention to detail is fairly important. Perhaps that's why I noticed it?

    Most likely. we tend to notice detail easier the more we force ourselves to. If you watch the same movie over and over again, and focus on the background, you'll probably notice more and more things every time you watch the same movie.

    This is very cool, yet how did i see that one color of green ever so slightly has a little variation...I'm not even an artist though I used to be?(when I was a kid, I would draw accurate pictures)

    Could the amount of cones and rods differ from one eye to the other in the same human body?

    What are colors how do you explain what a color is if nobody sees the same thing
