Is Your Red My Red?

While any two people with normal color vision can point to an object and probably agree on the color of that object, do they actually see the color the same?

To answer this question, we turn to Vsauce, our favorite YouTuber with an always interesting perspective on vision.

Mind-blowing takeaway: Color is merely an illusion, not part of the physical world, and is experienced in our own mind according to our mind’s interpretation of the data it processes.

So the short answer to the question “Is your Red my Red?” …. Maybe and maybe not.
