Today’s Awesome Thing is: A YouTube video about color perception.

I’ve wondered for years whether or not people see color the same way.  I know that for people who are color-blind, the answer is definitely no!  But what about “normally-sighted” individuals?  Is it possible that what I see as green is what you would call orange?  How would you assess that?

The full answer to those questions may never be known.  However, the above YouTube video shows a clip from a BBC documentary that shows that language apparently shapes our perceptions of color.  As a result, different people perceive color in different ways.  After I got done watching it, I couldn’t help but say, “WOW, AWESOME!”
