If it were true that one person were to perceve colours as the next one on, this would not work correctly. It would mean that there would be detail on certain coloured objects that some people just would not be able to see. This may be true of some (i.e. the colourblind), but the difference would be much more noticable.
Red, blue, and yellow are the only colors there are. And every color that is not solid red, blue, or yellow, is a combination. The color spectrum encompasses every possible color between red, blue, and yellow, and black and white, which are "shades."
