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.

That doesn't answer my question. I can understand species-specific
"optic wiring" resulting in different perceptions from different
colors. I don't, um, "see" that trout (or any other species) would
perceive the _same_ color differently at random, arbitrary times. To
use your example above, violet, orange would look red, not sometimes
red, sometimes orange, and sometimes yellow (I don't see how not
seeing blue or green would effect orange, but it's your example).

Sorry-- Of course the trout would always see the same color when
presented with the same color. I was answering a different question, and
pointing out just because two orange samples look the same to us, that
doesn't mean that they look the same to the trout.
