What if when someone else looks up that day and they see what they call a blue sky, their blue is what I associate with green? What if the palette of colors my brain sees for different wavelengths is completely unique? Would there be any way to prove this?

i think about that all the time.....is my blue or brown your blue or brown? if i were to point at something green, and you say its green too, how can it be proven that the color i am seeing is indeed the same color you see?
its a bit puzzling. i cant imagine seeing my world any differently, or having some else see it any other way that how i see it.
