Question:

If everyone in the world saw everything in purple and you saw it in red, would you think it was purple?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Yes, you would. A child calls a particular color purple only because that's what the child is told to call it. The child could as easily have been taught to call it "chair" or "smooth."
