Colours

So I was just thinking…what if the colours we see are different from the colours the person next to us sees? This idea was inspired by a video I watched on YouTube during a recent YouTube spiral, aka that moment when watching one video has turned into four hours of watching “suggested videos”. If those didn’t exist I’m pretty sure all of us would spend 99% less time on the site. But anyways, back to perception. What if everyone saw a different shade of the colour but we all gave it the same name because that was the agreed upon title? What if the only reason we think that something is blue is because we as a society have mutually agreed that it is? What if I see the grass as red, you see it as purple, and only 20% of people actually see it as green? But since those people have more power, or louder mouths, the “official” colour of the grass is green. Now apply this to everything in life and you could be considered a certified conspiracist. But, if you think about it in just small doses, you could be diagnosed as only slightly paranoid. And, in the end, isn’t that what we all strive to be?Image
