Do some people see or perceive colours differently?

While the answer is complex, experts said that it ultimately comes down to the differences in the way the brain and the eyes interpret colour.

One reason why people may perceive colour differently is due to individual variations in the number and sensitivity of cone cells.

Some people may have more or fewer cone cells than others, or their cone cells may respond differently to certain wavelengths of light.

Another factor that can affect colour perception is age.

As we get older, the lens of the eye can become less clear, causing colours to appear less vibrant or to shift in hue.
