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 think everyone's thought that at some point or antoher. I STILL think about that on occasion. like, what if what you call red really looks like my green, and to someone else it looks like my purple, but we all call it red? it's weird to think about, kinda fun. i've had philosophical discussions about this.
