You are focussed on optical illusions and light. I'm taking a crayon out of a box. In normal incandescent light, it will appear the same to everyone who can perceive color. Do you agree?

It could appear the same or totally different to each individual that watches it. The way I perceive "red" does not have to be same way you perceive it.

"Each subject was asked to tune the color of a disk of light to produce a pure yellow light that was neither reddish yellow nor greenish yellow. Everyone selected nearly the same wavelength of yellow, showing an obvious consensus over what color they perceived yellow to be. Once Williams looked into their eyes, however, he was surprised to see that the number of long- and middle-wavelength cones—the cones that detect red, green, and yellow—were sometimes profusely scattered throughout the retina, and sometimes barely evident. The discrepancy was more than a 40:1 ratio, yet all the volunteers were apparently seeing the same color yellow."

False.

So you are saying you can help someone who cannot see colors perceive them then. So if we go by this experiment would we be able to one day see new colors? As in the hypothetical question I asked the1. Here it is
But lets for arguments sake use the electromagmetic spectrum and varying wavelenghts of light, this also means that there are many different "colors" that we don't detect with our eyes (due to the size of their wavelenghts). If by some form of evolution in the future we were able to detect these light of different wavelenghts and frequencies with our eyes would our brain perceive them as "new colors"?

Huh? I offered direct confirmation to the contrary of your post that colors can be perceived totally differently. That's entirely fallacious. And I do not care to comment on the above post as a result of your obtuseness to this fact.
