Preferred term

inverted spectrum  

Definition

  • Suppose persons A and B have different color sensations while gazing at a ripe red tomato: A perceives “redness,” but B has the sensation that A has when A is looking at a purple grape. A and B both can visually detect ripe tomatoes and both learned to use language the same way; only their subjective sensations differ. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Inverted Spectrum]
