Yes, red and green seem subjectively very different—but only to conscious attention. A green object amid many red objects (or vice versa) does not grab my attention in the way that, e.g. a yellow object might.
When shown a patch of red-or-green in a lab setting, I see “Red” or “Green” seemingly at random.
If shown a red patch next to a green patch in a lab, I’ll see one “Red” and one “Green”, but it’s about 50:50 as to whether they’ll be switched or not. How does that work? I have no hypotheses that aren’t very low confidence. It seems as much a mystery to me as I infer it seems mysterious to you.
