The way you see colors (or colours, if you prefer the British spelling) depends on the light at the moment. Blue objects may appear green or teal if the light that's cast upon them is yellow, for example, in a room illuminated by incandescent light bulbs. Those same blue objects may appear purple if the light has a red tint to it, for example at sunrise or sunset.
