How would the trout's optic "wiring" change the way the light is
reflected from an object? As I said in the other post, I can understand
that trout might perceive, for example, what humans call "orange" as
what humans call "purple," but I can't see how trout would arbitrarily
and randomly perceive one color differently. IOW, the trout's
perception of this or that color might be different than a human's, but
it would be consistent. But again, ???

We see one visual color spectrum, but the trout's is different.

What if you could see red, but not blue or green. Violet and Orange would
both look red. So, orange with a big ultraviolet component that we can't
see would look different to a trout from orange with no ultraviolet
component, but the same to us.
