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.

Exactly,
I believe it was in the book Trout Flies by Dave Hughes, an
accomplished fly-tier,
that it's still not defined exactly how a trout perceives the color in
a fly.

To clarify even more-- I can take two orange samples that look exactly the
same to a human, and I can put them under a spectrophotometer, and the
output of the device could show two very different color spectra. If the
differences are in the UV range, they may very well look different to a
trout.
