All of that is intellectual BS too. Viewing colours in pictures invokes a scene that conveys a meaning that I think overall is the same for everyone based on a lifetime of conditioning. A "nice" landscape looks like a nice landscape to everyone, because everyone learns what a nice landscape looks like, regardless how the colours are actually represented in yr brain. Perception of colours in isolation in a totally different context doesnt indicate anything of the variation of perception between ppl. We would all see them as "odd" in a similar way. Thats a neat party trick that with a bit of thought would make everyone say "doh", not be a reason to think we are all perpetually decieved of reality, whatever that means.
