We both call the color of my shirt orange, but we each see it as a different color, but don't know b/c to both of us, this is orange. Get me? Hope I made sense.

That was kind of part of my thesis for Child Developmental Theories- I proposed something along the lines that if a child was taught that the color orange was called "blue" then that is how they would know it. Nothing stopped your parents from teaching you that the creature commonly known as a dog was called a "shmegeggie," but they didn't. Scientifically speaking, we know that everyone sees things (such as color) differently, how then DO parents TRULY teach children things like the recognition of color? ....etc.
great thread by the way
