Peoples' colors...

Okay, I have a theory. Maybe everybody's brain registers colors differently. What if what I see as black , you see as yellow, or blue, or whatever, but since your brain registers it differently, you may know the blue or yellow you see as black, but nobody would ever know the difference.

hmmmm then black people wouldnt have been black to everyone and white people wouldnt have been white to everyone.

That theory's actually pretty common. I've been wondering about it too. But people have done tests to see that that is not the case.

you can google it and see what you come up with =]

I've thought that too, actually. I haven't done much research myself to see what conclusions people have come over this, though.

This was like the first thread I created when I first posted about two years ago.

I've had this idea, too, but applied it to other senses as well, like hearing. I'm wondering if it's actually possible for something like this to happen in rare cases, for example, brain damage in whatever part of the brain processes color.

wow there are other people that think like me...

I would say you need brain surgery. Your ink cartridge needs adjusted.

Well I don't think of it like that, but an interesting idea indeed. I do know the gender of almost ever color as well as the gender of letters and numbers and shapes.

That's what happens to color blind people. But normally people see the same colors.

Oh I'm really strange. For example I tend to think that the total number of "female" letters vs "male" letters determines the gender of a name, per say.

For example my name:

R = F, O = M, B = M, E = M, R = F, T = F

F = 3
M = 3

Thus I am both male a female.

This is true, but if it were the case it wouldn't really make any difference.
