I too have always wondered about the idea of color perception varying between different individuals.  The idea that one person could describe a certain color that they associate with the term red as “red” while another could perceive a totally different color as their “red” is not that farfetched to me.   Since a given individual has routinely, since their first experience of a particular color, associated their perception of that color with a given descriptive term, what is to say that these constructions have to be consistent for each and every individual?  Due to the uniqueness of a person’s nervous system connections and the layout/productivity of their photoreceptors and other light sensing components, why would be a stretch to think that different individuals inherently perceive the color spectrum in different ways?
