When someone tells you that color X is called "blue," it does not have
any effect on the /way/ you perceive that color. It doesn't matter
/what/ sound you attach to that color, you perceive it in a given
way that's totally unaffected by the color's name. If you told a baby
that red was called "blue" for his entire life, he'd still SEE it as
red; he'd just use a different pattern of sounds to describe it, that's
all.
