Is my blue the same as yours?

We can all see colors. Even a color blind man, its just his are black and white. But do we really see the same color or do we only have the name in common? I'm being confusing, i know. Allow me to explain.

When we were kids, we were all taught that this shade of color is called red. Red apple, red flower, red bird, red blood...etc. But do we all really see the same color?

What if someone sees a purple apple but is taught that its called red? He doesn't know. He can't see what i can see. The colors we see may be different but we have the same names for them.

You know when you argue with someone about whether something is green or blue? What if what they actually see is red and orange but they know them as green and blue? What if my red is your blue?

I was born with dark brown eyes. And when i was little, i used to think they were boring. I used ti think that those with colored eyes could see colors in a whole different way. But really, what if its true?

Now, don't give me some scientific crap about how thats impossible, i don't give a crap, these are my thoughts and i'm allowed to be stupid without being aware of it.

Just think about it? Anything is possible... It'd be really cool, to be honest. We might even have new colors! My purple would be different than yours!

I hope that if its true, we'd have more effects and filters for photos. We'd buy glasses of some sort that would reveal the world to us in another person's view. What would the actual world look like? Is black and white the only actual colors and its just our eyes color that show us colors?
