Well, we have no way of knowing how anyone perceives a given colour (my
teapot is 'blue', but whether someone else sees 'blue' as the same thing,
who knows?).

My musical tastes date partly from the 70s, but I don't :)  I know that some
of the colour choices I know cause others discomfort though; I pick colours
on websites etc. very careful by value and theory rather than sight, because
otherwise it ends up looking like an angry fruit salad...  I also know how
bad some of the choices other people make can be, though; Novell's old web
site was red with green text, according to people who could actually
navigate through it.
