Do we see colour the same?

Yes - our biology is similar enough that we can generalise when describing how we all see colour.

No - colour symbolises different things for different cultures and religions, and this can change over time.

Maybe - colour is an unchanging physical property of light but is this the whole story?

No - conditions such as colour blindness make a difference. Plus what about the diverse visual systems of other animals?

I wonder whether it would even be possible to know that colours are being perceived the same? We can only judge perception off of relation to others, but we can never see directly as someone else sees.

I think seeing colors depends on many different factors that all should be taken into account e.g. color blindness, culture and personal opinion.
