do people see the same colors the same colors!?

Yes it is testable. And there are colorblind people who do not see some colors at all. Other than that there are lots of variation on how well each person can detect different variations of a color. Woman generally can detect slight changes in a color better than me. ( this is proven not a generalization). Best way to answer your question is by comparing it to singing. There are mute people who can not sing. Everyone else can sing but lots of variation in how well. Same with color recognition.

Try this - you'll be surprised how many people have a degree of colour-blindness without realising\n\nhttp://128.121.139.89/SWF/ColorBlind21.swf

I certainly seem to.  I have heard that people dream in black and white but remember the dreams in color, but that doesn't make sense to me.\n\nI had a dream just a few nights ago with very distinctive colors... a choppy brown ocean, a stormy blue sky, and a woman in a white dress wading in the water.

You can't, since it's knowledge based off of what we learn from our environment. It'd be the same as trying to describe, for example, a horse, to someone who has never seen a horse. With that example you might could give him a broad idea of what it looks like, but it would be impossible to get an accurate  and completely correct image without having actually experienced seeing one before. With colors, it's more absolute; you either know what a color looks like or you don't (unless you try to explain jungle green as a mix between forest green and dark green or something really confusing like that :-P)

They are the same colors, because they are pigments they are additive colors, so when mixed in different amounts, they create the colors you see.\nThe colors you see on the screen, are made from different amounts, of colored light, which are Blue, Green, and Red. Mixed in equal amounts, they come out as white, when disabled they come out

They say that everyone has a twin somewhere in the world.\n\nThen again they also say that no two fingerprints or snowflakes are exactly the same, so by that logic, I think that we all have someone else on this planet that looks almost identical to us, but noone is exactly like us.

I dont think you can. =^P It would be wierd if I was seeing blue and somebody else was seeing (my version of) red and saying it was blue... Mabye everybody has different color views. Never know.

What we see, and how we see it is attributed to mass illusion.  That is, nothing is as it looks, feels, tastes, or smells.  These are ALL CHEMICAL REACTIONS IN THE BRAIN.  They do not "take place in the real world, they take place in our brains, by chemical receptors locking into certain places and neural responses that are given to us when those chemicals respond to certain stimuli."  The fact that we all seem to live in the same world, with the same signs, same colors on the walls and the rest is the fact that we "call" things by certain names and require that others accept those labels.  Orange is always the same "color," sweet can be various degrees, but its always "sweet."  So, we condition each other from infants up to see the world AS WE (OR OUR PARENTS) SAW THE WORLD.  This is the most common and acceptable way, and why feral children are so special, growing up without "placed labels" on the world.  Basically, you see the world through your own unique view, however, throughout life, certain boundaries have been placed on your view of it.  Such as Dinner, supper and lunch.  Most people have specific times for each one, while for someone else, these words are interchangeable.  So, its all up to you on how you decide to see the world when you back up far enough to get a true view of it.  \n\nRemember, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar . . .

Yes, we see very bright, vivid, swirling tie-dye techni-colors. Oh, wait a minute, I thought you said Hippies. Sorry : )

my brother in law is color blind. hes sees color [ as colorblind people do ] he just doesn't see the right color. but he dont let it bother him ,he just calls it as he sees it untill you correct him and remind him,...."YOU"RE COLOR BLIND!!!!!!"......... "brother in laws"

think what was meant was..\ndo people all see things the same\nand i would say no\nwhat something looks like to me could probably and probably is seen completely different to you.  you probably see colors i could never imagine, and vice versa.

If there are Colours Join the Colors same to the same... Like I mean join the same colors... together...\n\nok.. i actually have no idea..\n\nMaybe it would help..

This is like one of those projective personality tests. =/\nI'd say a multitude of colors. Each color taking a majority of the sphere under different circumstances. Never always the same color. \nWhy? Because there are many sides to the same person and they surface under different circumstances.

Bill Pekar - Colors are all the same

I think that blind people would have their own ideas of what things 'look like' based on the things that are explained to them.  but while you cant explain color necessarily to a blind person, other things you can, and sound helps too. some blind people have very blurred vision and are still able to make shapes out. i believe that based on what they imagine things to be, thats what they dream. maybe just mostly shapes. just as we dont know what (a) god looks like, we all imagine and dream up something we belive him/her/it to look like, even though there is societal influence on the image in question. i think its somewhat ignorant to think that blind people dream in black and sound...

To elaborate on the previous response: Color is merely your brain's interpretation of light (electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum) entering your eye. A difference in color corresponds to a difference in the light's wavelength. And just as there are an infinity of numbers between 0 and 1 (fractions), you could also technically say there are an infinite number of colors between the shortest wavelength of visible light and the longest. This is the answer you'd get from a physicist.\n\nBut, a physiologist/neurologist might have a different answer. As I stated, color is an interpretation of the chemical reaction between light and the rods and cones in the back of your eye. The fact that it's an interpretation and the fact that we can't detect very small differences in wavelength suggests that there is a much smaller set of colors that we, as humans, could define given our very limited built-in equipment (our eyes). Even among humans it varies though, I have no idea what my girlfriend is talking about sometimes. It's not for lack of trying, my eyes/brain (as with many guys) is capable of detecting a smaller set of colors than girls. Is her set more valid than mine?\n \nAnd I'm sure an artist and a poet would tell you something completely different :)
