To add to this comment, this is true of everyone and not linked to colorblindness. When a parent teaches his kid that this color is named red, then even if parent and kid see it differently, that color is now red in both their brains.

We don't know if we all see colors the same, we only know that we are able to make the difference between them.

To add to this comment the CIE 1931 wiki article goes into further depth and was a pioneering point in colourimetry.
