what's the name of this theory?
    #8145393 - 03/14/08 10:12 AM (16 years, 18 days ago)

How could we know that everyone sees colors the same?
I might see something as "red", when really it's blue, but i've been brought up believing that its red, because thats what I was taught by my parents...
I used to know the name for it but I since forgot and wanted to incorporate in a paper I'm writing
5 :mushroom2:'s for anyone who helps me out

color is different EVERYTIME you see color, even when two people see the same color its different. light waves always get bounced off other things and it's all so inconsistent. that being said... there is no such thing as color without and observer and every observers eye differs a bit so a slight different color might be perceived, but if everyone has pretty normal biological eyes, everyone should see something AROUND the color of red when the light waves present themselves.

then you come to a case of people with "abnormal" eyes (color blind), who perceive the colors differently.

anyway that might or might not at all help, just my rant on color :tripping:

ok I think you may have got the wrong impression
color was just an example I used to help explain the thing I dont know the name of
it applies for other things as well I believe
but enjoyed your thoughts nonetheless

subjective experience of reality? that's probably not the name you're looking for but it points in that direction no?

yea something along those lines, it might actually just be about color
If I remember correctly, probably like half a year ago someone posted about it, thats how I found out about it
I think it may have been jewunit but thats a vague assumption
anyways I suppose I will look around for it a bit more
will report back if/when I find it

I remember reading that post too...
thought it was very interesting.
Tried talking to a few of my friends about the theory... if I recall, they thought I was nuts!

Sounds vaguely related to Subjectivism:

color blindness?

I was brought up thinking my blue was everyone else's blue until I went to an opthamologist and found out my perceptions of colors were waay fucking off.
