Vision and colour perception is interesting. BBC's "Horizon" did a great science doc on vision and how we see with our brains not our eyes ["Seeing Is Believing" - it's on Youtube]. Because we "see" with our brains, our language also affects how we perceive colour.

 

The Himba, an African nomadic tribe in Namibia have just four words for colour: zuzu = dark shades of blue, red, green and purple; vapa = white and some shades of yellow; buru = some shades of green and blue; and dambu = some other shades of green, red and brown. Colour perception tests with this tribe showed their limited vocabulary means it takes the Himba longer to distinguish between colours within each of these 4 categories compared with, say, English speakers with a much bigger range of words to describe all the colours of the rainbow and more. They'd probably do pretty crap at Foopy's test

 

You still think the eye's just a camera? OK, open up this link. You'll see a circle of 12 purple dots, each dot disappearing, then the next. Follow it round with your eyes and you'll see the only colour is purple. Now stare at the cross in the middle - you will see a GREEN dot going around. But there is no green - you've just seen there isn't - your brain put it there. But it gets better - you'll see the green dot eat up all the other purple dots Pacman-style!

 

We don't see the world as it is, only as our brains interpret it
