> So how do you know that what you perceive as red isn't perceived as a totally different colour by another person? Your eyes and brain define a certain wavelength of light as what you have been told is red, but maybe what everyone calls red is actually brown or blue. (Don't ask me to whom, though.)

I thought the exact same thing when I was in second grade (half a lifetime ago)! That is way moby that you would think the same thing! I thought, "Well, what if what I think is red is green to someone else, but they call it red because that's what they've been taught?" That would be spooky.
