colours

ok bare with me. do you think people see different colours but call them the same. ok i see a banana as yellow, i only know irts yellow coz someone told me so any colour i see similar i call yellow, but you may also call it yellow and see it how i see blue, get what i mean?

Yeah, it's really weird. The world could look completely to different to different people because we see colours differently, but we can't tell because we can't get into other people's brains.

Miss Edith People don't fall in love with what's right in front of them. People want the dream -- what they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive. --Xander

I've often thought that. Apparently dogs can only see in black and white but I dont think that true because I'm sure my dog can see colours

Sydney You can lead the whore to culture but you can't make her think!

Theres a whole section of psychology dedicated to colour perception which basically states what you're saying Spike. Its a wierd thig to get your head round and i think a good way to demonstrate it is when some people see similar colours as different. For example when i insist that a hole-punch i own is purple and my mother insists that its blue. Somewhere along the line her perception of purple and mine have diffred so we see the hole punch as the same colour but we call it something different.

Rambling now!

Rae Your imitation of my walk, and the perfect way you talk. It's just a couple of the million things, that i love about you.

stuff like this really flumaxes me..especially when the only way to describe,say red is to say "well, it's...red"

Thats the same as Aqua, I see aqua as blue, but alot of people I speak to see it as green, I think alot to do with what your told is right as a child. Does that make sense? Oh I'm confused!

RedWitch It's the so-called 'normal' guys that always let you down. Sickos never scare me. At least they're committed.

Nah, aqua's bluey-green.

No you're all wrong. Aqua is a top European pop combo with more than their fair share of cheese!

Samphirette To you I guess I'm just a clown who picks you up each time you're down

I suppose you could compare it to bulls, now bulls are supposed to see in black and white apparently - so how do they know what a red blanket looks like?

And whilst I'm catching Spikisms

Did you know that 1 in 8 men are colourblind so perhaps there is a problem with men seeing colours in a different way to women.

It is the moving of the cape that actually atracts the bull to charge.
