I’m probably going to be lynched for this…
If you’re wondering what’s with the ‘The Far Side’ tag, the quote originated from a prototype strip Larson sent to his first publishers (back when it was called Nature’s Way). Since Mr. Larson politely asked the internet not to post his stuff online (which, for the most part everyone is complying with), I can’t really find the original image.

It is, yes. That one’s entertaining.
I can understand that, But I see it more as “Are you maliciously making fun of someone? If so, Then you’re going to see things like that where they don’t exist.”
There might be spiritual repercussions to making fun of a little blind girl.
BRILLIANT!

It’s a very open-ended question, dragging in neurology for the wiring, semiotics and linguistics for the cultural coding, and statistics for the biological variation in equipment. However those don’t vary so much: in most people, blue sensations are delivered to the brain distinctly from red ones; in most cultures “blue” carries a different meaning to “red”. Inside the brain things are a little less well explored, but it seems to me that redness and blueness are stored as patterns/memories of neuronal wiring that may be triggered by sensations, or recalled in thought. And that (synaesthetes aside) they’re stored as distinct from one another as both your physical apparatus and your culture/language have allowed (interesting experiments back up both causes for distinction between colours). I think that for very similar people, very similar patterns of brain activation will be found as imaging improves.
Here’s something new.
Violets are violet.
Not fucking blue.
Violets are blue
In a 1000 years I’ll be dead
But so will you
‘Blind’ doesn’t rhyme with ‘blue’.
