Ok so hear me out… even though colors have associated wavelengths - it’s entirely possible that what i understand as blue someone else experiences as (what I would call) orange because of the way the optical signal is read by our brain from our eyes

Does that make sense or am i just insanely lost???

Being somewhat colorblind, I’ll say yes this is true. It doesn’t change what blue is, but it changes how we do or don’t see it. I literally don’t see some colors, so I can’t have the same experience.

It’s pretty much certain that we don’t perceive colors exactly the same way.

And if anything, some people are verifiably color impaired so what you call “red” definitely looks different to them
