Could everyone in the world see in different colors??? Yeah, we all look at the sky and say it’s blue, but maybe blue looks different to every single person, but they just call it blue because that’s what they’ve come to know it as. We all say the grass is green, but maybe to someone else it looks purple but they just call it green. Don’t think I’m crazy.
