Very interesting and illuminating responses, I thank you all for your insight. So most of our eyes may take in the electromagnetic waves the same, but our perception of the differentiating colour's maybe completely different. So purple to one person could be red to another?
I am curious to why we depict UV to be in more of a purple scenery and IR to more of a red scenery then? Does this mean colour is an illusion in itself? Any further explanations?
