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.

Well maybe BS to you but all major advertising companies sank millions of dollars in researching colors, shapes and other things that will influence people watching their commercials on TV. If a person's brain can be tricked with such simple things as colors, you can do that with sounds, shapes, words, motion... anything. So yes, although it can be a neat party trick it does 'deceive reality' as you say.
