    Ehh, idk I think that societal constructs of red come from biological underpinnings of what red ment to us in nature.

    Also yes that is still a construct of the human mind.

    Im just saying it predates "society" as we know it

    as a colorblind man

    i can speak to this i believe

    i know the programming i was supposed to receive

    but because of my deficiency i'm sort of immune to it

    and yet i still feel similarly to most people that red is very passionate

    i would say

    imagine the colour of an orange but add pink to it

    imagine what the colour what be, maybe you’d think something salmon but imagine that colour a little darker and sharp. imagine it would be a colour of danger

    You couldn’t.

    Color isn’t subjective. Even people who are colorblind just have a physical issue with how their body detects/identifies light.

    why do you say color isn't subjective?

    we only associate those things with the color red because thats what weve been programmed to

    stop signs, red lights, bull luring, whatever the f***

    realistically speaking its just an arrangement of light like any other color and has no symbolism beyond the ones our society has given it

    Nah that’s wrong

    Think about where red appears in nature. Blood

    We evolved to feel the color red as a signal of danger/intensity, because where there is blood, there is danger and intensity

    Our perception of color is pretty straight forward.

    I guess, technically it could be different for everyone, but we have a set of eyes that work a certain way and an overwhelming majority of people who seem to agree.

    light vs dark puts it all into perspective I think. Black and white aren’t technically colors, I don’t think, but we know that black is the lack of light and white corresponds.

    The philosopher would then ask what the absence of light means

    And then a wormhole is opened

    Well I suppose that color or at least the connotations that surround a color in a sense can be to a degree subjective.

    In which case responses that are rooted in relativity still have some valor.

    And I feel like the question innately is a practice in understand an individual's relative experience to the color.

    the issue is- relative to what? a blind person has no reference point when it comes to color

    and I'll agree that it's subjective, but IMO it's impossible to even describe your personal/subjective experience of red to a blind person

    I agree.

    I think his question is to get to understand the individual better not to necessarily get the best answer to what red is to someone who is blind.

    Therefore the question is rooted in relativism not necessarily actually determining how to describe red to someone who is blind.
