]I usually would describe a color with both the main color and the direction ]it's going. Like, "a green that's almost yellow".

i'll have to remember that one. might help with Jamie and my mom.

we settled on turquoise on the skirt, eventually. teal would have worked better, but this was 1958.

Actually, I think we're all seeing different colors, but the names we've learned for that particular visual input is blue or green or whatever.

Perhaps that's why we all have favorite colors -- some visual inputs are more soothing to our particular rods and cones than others.

Interesting to think about.

i'm beginning to think that, too. even when the kindergarten teacher pointed to the circle and said "yellow", probably no two of us were seeing the same thing we learned to identify as "yellow". and when it comes to mixing colors, even more so!
