I'm not sure if this is a true fact, but I heard that only the Red 
information was wrong by daltonism.  And the brain interprets the color 
in some way that makes any color containing red to be blended somehow...

Even when I see a pure Blue thing, I can't say for sure that it's blue, 
it might contain some red pigments that I don't perceive...
