Colours

[Hannah]

I was out for a meal yesterday and we ended up having a conversation about how weird the human mind really is - particularly when it comes to colours.

Like, we're all taught at a young age what each colour is, but colours are only what our minds perceive them as. Like, the grass is green and a banana is yellow when ripe, yeah?

Well, what if you saw 'Green' in the colour of what we see as blue, but you know it as green because you've been taught it that way.

Like, what I see as red, may actually be someone elses perception of the colour orange, but they have been taught that their perception is red or visa versa.


It's so odd. My brain hurts.

The strange part of this is that if two people perceived red differently, they would still agree that something is red because it's their version of red as they know it.

I know - you can't even really explain a colour, especially if you see a colour as what you've been taught to.

Is there really any way to prove that we are all seeing the same colour?

I'm not sure. You can't describe colours without using colours.

BRAIN Y U SO COMPLEX

I'm not sure. You can't describe colours without using colours.

Maybe in a few decades they'll create something that can see how a person sees something, exactly how they perceive it. Maybe they already have it somewhere

what if there are colours we have never seen

idk why people are trying to prove the creation of the Earth with Big Bang when there are more important things to figure out, like colours!

If we can only process certain colours there may be ones we can't see. But that seems crazy when we can see in so many shades of every colour. But it's still possible I guess... Spooky, there are colours hiding in my bedroom!

My brain isn't used to working this much. I think colours may be the death of me when my brain explodes!
