Possibly, this is a more interesting question. Your current question presumes you can conceive of such an experiment without any prior research, making this question eligible to be closed as not framed in psychology or neuroscience. | |

We call something 'blue' since we agree on something we see. The way we can tell someone is colorblind is since they can not differentiate between certain colors. As long as your hypothetical 'color swap' does not impact any relations to other experiences (e.g., one blue is no longer lighter/darker than another color), there would be no way to tell one person experiences 'blue' as 'red' or vice-versa. | |
