Photoreceptor cells in the retina, called cones, contain light-sensitive pigments that respond to different wavelengths of light. When light enters the eye and is absorbed by these pigments, it triggers a series of chemical reactions that ultimately result in the generation of electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The brain then interprets these signals as specific colors based on the pattern of activation of the different types of cones.

How can you be sure that you are not seeing inverted colors your whole life?

By pointing at something and asking "What's that color?" If the colors match, then you are not seeing inverted colors. This answer is WRONG! For example, if you ask "What's that color?" and point to black, but you are seeing white, the other person will answer it's black, but in your childhood you learned that the white that YOU see is called black, so you still don't know if you see inverted colors.
