So long as we can successfully communicate, then it doesn't matter
if your experience of the sky is similar to mine.  Colour blind people
can learn how to use colour words and so, for that matter, can people
totally blind from birth.  The fact that such blind people cannot distinguish
red from blue does not mean that they don't understand the meanings of
those words.
