RWB in RGB
Let's get out of our heads for a moment (and into our eyes).
Color metaphors are really more about the mind's eye as opposed to the eye as a light-collection apparatus. Color labels are arbitrary metaphorical abstractions that can reduce complexity and collapse belief systems down to one color.
Some people can't see these colors as we have come to understand them with that consensual metaphor--the ideals that the color could represent.
With the Color Blindness Simulator, we can approximate this deficiency of color perception in the eye.
Here are the various shades of one hex of red and blue, including the simulated colors:
Red: http://www.colorhexa.com/c40000
Blue: http://www.colorhexa.com/2047bf
Black/white is a different animal but it has its own cognitive effects, that can produce relative shades of gray, a gradation of luminance or brightness from a light source, not color.

An into our ears:
Sound, like color can also be idealized and/or distorted for effect.
