Do people see colors differently?

Posted at: 2014-09-26 
My eyes are slightly different colours and I see colours differently out of each. Similar, but not the same. It's hard to describe a colour. My red could be different from somebody else's red. I'd call their red "yellow", but it will still be red. For example, a strawberry. We are taught that they are red. If I saw a strawberry in someone else's eyes, it might be the colour that I call "yellow". But, to them, that's red. They were taught that a certain thing has a certain colour. It doesn't matter how they see colours, we're all taught that a strawberry is "red". We could all see it differently, but whatever we see when we look at a strawberry, we all know that it's colour is called "red". Colourblind people (any type of colourblind) will have trouble differenciating colours. My left eye sees more warms tones, while my right eye sees more cool tones. I can still recognize a colour with both, but if it's a secondary colour, like purple, the red tones will be more obvious to my left eye, and the blue tones will be more obvious to my right eye. I do see colours differently, but only a bit. Not so much that I would see purple in one eye, and green in the other.

Yes all people do, but you know it's impossible to describe how we see it, like I see red, and it's red, there's no other explanation.

for a year i was colorblind (got stabbed in the eye) and everything in one eye was a completely different color than the other, left eye saw yellow, right eye saw red, both eyes open resulted in a weird gradient

Not all..other than those with color deficiency..

What if the color I see as red, is yellow for another person? The color's in the rainbow I see are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, but what if i saw it through someone else's eyes, i'd call the red yellow, the orange green, the yellow blue and so on? You can't explain what a color looks like so it seems possible it could be that way.
