So in a sense we have proven that people's ability to perceive the same colors are subjective? They did some research on the Niberian Himba tribe, and it turns out they ar really damn good at seeing various shades of green but completely shit at identifying blue, and the researchers concluded part of this was based in them having distinct words for all of the different colors, which in turn caused them to analyze the visuals further and identify distinctions (there have also been recent studies on old texts such as the Odyssey that suggest that the ability to perceive blue as a distinct color is somewhat recent).
