My red or your red
As a web designer, I usually like to hear opinions of colleague designers and even unprofessional family members and friends, every opinion I hear gives me more insight of how different visitors reacts to my design.
Ofcourse I get different reactions from "WOW" to "Excuse me, is that a site!", but what really may be a point of discussion is the choice of colors, I always get confused by how various people are in color tastes.
I always thought about this, why people are so different in color tastes? why do some people may adore a design color selections and others hate it?
All my life I've been thinking of this till I get to something and this is what I wanted to say from the beginning after all this introduction, please don't think I'm nuts.
I thought maybe every person see colors differently, for example what you see green I see red or what you see light grade of blue I see it very bluish like the blue in RGB, so now you thinking how do I get to this? why do I think that different eyes see different colors? I tell you why, remember back when your teacher first teach you colors how do she do it? she hold a red card in her hands and said this is red, then a blue card this is blue etc... so every child get in his head that this color is red and that is blue, after class a kid said I like blue color the other said I like green.
I'm not trying to prove something here, I'm just saying why not, maybe my theory is right, how will we know if we see colors differently or not, maybe there is kind of scientific research or something about this issue I don't know maybe scientist could prove or disprove this, but I'm speaking away from science and scientists.
By the way I like orange so much, maybe you see it as big lemons I don't know but I still like it.
