    Wavelength may be objective, but the signal that a brain receives may be different if the cells which are supposed to receive that objective wavelength aren’t functioning correctly.

    Like if I make you wear rose coloured glasses, it doesn’t matter what colours I show you, you won’t be able to name them correctly because the objective stimulus is literally coloured before it makes it to your brain.

      Except the rose-colored glasses example doesn’t really disagree, because the colored glass is absorbing all the photons except the pink ones, so you’re really just further making my point.
