does a color appear differently to different people?
I am having a doubt... read the text below to understand...
A bottle of green color is kept in front of two persons, 'A' & 'B'. Both 'A' and 'B' will say-the bottle is of green color, Though 'A' doesn't know that how that color(of the bottle) is actually appearing to 'B'. The same case is with 'B' also.
Both the brains(of 'A' & 'B' respectively) will have an image 'a' and 'b' of the bottle respectively. It is not necessary that the color of the bottle in the image 'a' is the same of that to 'b'.
Basically I want to say that we don't know that what the other person is perceiving or what is the green(or any other) color is actually appearing to him/her. But as we learn from our childhood (about green color) we'll say that the bottle is of green color (though it may be appearing differently to different people). That specific frequency is of green color(green light) but the actual appearance may differ from person to person... brain to brain...
this can be extended... => color(as discussed above), shape(of the object)...
this also applies to the pitch of the sound...
I am not having any conclusion about this. Help me.
This doubt is of my own... please, before answering mention that you have understood the stuff written above and if possible just mention (in short) what did you understand.
thank you
