What are the senses?
If you see a shape that is the color red, any child with the basic schooling will know it is the color red. But is the color red that you see the same color that i see? If my brain was to look through your eyes would the color I see be red or another color? If someone tells you a color is something that is what you will know it to be. What if when you see blue, i see green. But since we were told all of our lives these were the color red that is what we would believe it to be.

I think you're talking about color-blindness.

Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceive only the reflected colors.
Thus, red is not "in" an apple. The surface of the apple is reflecting the wavelengths we see as red and absorbing all the rest. An object appears white when it reflects all wavelengths and black when it absorbs them all.
We know we are seeing the same thing, because we have measured the different wavelengths of colors, and we all agree to call the wavelength of an apple, for example, red.

that was a good theory, but one flaw. you have colored markers with no color name on them, and there is a coloring book. they show a picture of a stop sign and you color it the color red without knowing the name of the color, no one would color it blue.

THis is a good example of something that can be associated with Platos allegory of the cave
He explains that...if people were tied up to where they cant move staring at the back of the cave and there was a fire way behind them...and figures...or humans moving puppets in between... (speaking of men from childhood)...then the men would only see shadows reflecting on the cave wall..and once that man were to see the real object (the puppets) that is making the shadows...then that in itself would seem less realistic then the shadows....the man would be brought up (from childhood) to think that the shadows were projecting the real physical puppets that were REALLY projecting the shadows...
to sum it up..he is saying....that the way your thought patterns work are based on what u learn as u grow and everything in your surroundings...your repressed memories and thoughts are what decide how you percieve different shit... lol
but aside from that...ive thought about the color thing too...I believe everyone has at one point...
But colors do represent different emotions n shit...so im pretty sure we all see them the same way
as yellow, or blue would not represent rage or hatred...
that would be red or black
and most of us agree to these type of statements
