colors

Submitted by aybala50 on Sun, 04/12/2009 - 1:56pm.

The idea that colors are a construction of the brain makes a lot of sense to me. In high school I remember one of my science teachers had said to us 'it's possible that everyone sees colors a little different from each other'. It does seem possible that since everyone has an individual brain that we can see colors differently. 

Also on the thought that different colors can produce different emotions...how does that work? Is it all about what colors are associated with in culture? Such as black and death?
