As a human being we are all different. No two people look the same, or have the same genetic makeup, and therefore each individual experiences events differently. We have different tastes in food, for instance, meaning that our tongues interpret flavours in different ways. As our eyes are essentially "tasting" the light around us, why shouldn't we also interpret light in a different way to one another?
We're taught from a young age that when you point at a banana, it's yellow (or "lellow" as i pronounced it, or sometimes brown) etc. etc. but i'm a firm believer that what i see isn't what the next guy sees. Who knows if he sees red as what i interpret to be the colour blue? The light reflected at a certain frequency to represent the colour blue in my brain could be sent to your brain as the colour red.
