What are inverted spectrum cases.

It's the idea that the experience of colour may vary between different individuals. For instance, you may see as 'red' something that I see as 'green', but because you use the word 'green' to refer to what I refer to as 'red', I have no way to know that we experience colour in different ways.

In other words, just another nonsense from traditional philosophy.
