Colors

Okay, so I'm on my mom's laptop and should probably keep this fast. We're reading the Giver in my English class at school and the people living in the community in The Giver don't see in color - along with not doing many other things. The point is, I've been thinking.

What if we all see colors differently. Like one person's green is another person's orange, or something. But it would work because if someone said, 'hey! look at that yellow dress over there!' or something, each person would see the dress as they saw yellow. There's no way to test if this is true because you would, in essence, have to be another person and see things as they saw things to prove your point. Then, of course, it would only be proving it to yourself. You'd have to transport yourself back to your body and then after convincing your colleagues you weren't insane, proceed to tell a story that invoke feelings of 'oh - they're crazy after all' from said colleagues.

So colors look different to each person, but they can't tell if it's true without being another person. Just a thought.
