The Colour Theory

Thursday, July 08, 2010 , In

i have a theory;

what if the colour that each of us see is different from one person to another? here's an example.

to alee, this is blue. but in udin's eye, blue is actually this colour. and nuex has forever known this colour to be blue. and here's the interesting part; all of them will agree that the sky is blue although they see different colours form each other, since they were introduced that blue to be this / this / this colour. and for that, they never even thought to argue.

i have another theory;

all of us have their own favourite colour. some like turquoise, some like indigo, some like apple green. that was said to make each of us an individual. so if the above theory is true, then what if all of us actually have the same favourite colour? example:

alee likes red. udin favors green. nuex thinks purple is hot. if everybody sees different colours from everybody else, then maybe to alee red is this colour, to udin green is this colour, and nuex sees this as purple. so all three of them actually likes the same colour, regardless of what they call it!

kinda cool eh? :)

here's my personal view:

1st theory-
that shows how one point of view can be interpreted into so many interesting and different ways.

another similar example: a long wooden ruler
teacher: uses it to point at the blackboard
student: sees it as a potential cane if they don't pay attention in class
tom: considers it as somewhat an antique coz wooden rulers are rarely used nowadays

the teacher, student and tom know that rulers are used to measure distances but each of them regards its usage in different ways, and they don't argue about it. don't ask why, they just won't.

2nd theory-
shows that many interesting and different point of view can actually be the same subject.

for instance, tom likes cottage fries, nuex favors jack n jill, udin thinks that Lay's is the yummiest. basically all three of them just loves to eat potato chips, regardless of what brand they prefer.

these theories are definitely cool! got me thinking really deep.
