I’ve always said that people see colors differently. I know that I see differently from my left eye to my right. This has always made getting color correction right for printing and posting images very difficult. It changes from one day to the next and what looks good today may look horrid to me tomorrow. Here’s an article I found that talks about the subject in more depth:

Not a bad article. As an eye doctor I like to describe "color deficiency" (true color blindness is extremely rare) to photographers as turning the saturation down on one of the three channels. Of course the average patient would glaze over at this explanation.
