You are talking about opinion, when you talk about color, since everyone perceives color differently.

Better example:

If someone said, "The rabbit is an ungulate." I would conclude that 1. they had no idea what an ungulate was, and thus did NOT understand what they were saying (re: the word and idea of an ungulate, as it relates to the word and idea of a rabbit), or 2. that they were delusional, and thought that a rabbit really was an ungulate, or 3. that they were being untruthful for some reason. That is what I think.

I agree with you that they would have their facts wrong. Having your facts wrong is prima facie not understanding what you are saying, unless you think people understand they have their facts wrong, and say things anyway. Understanding the facts of what you are saying is a key component of understanding what you are saying. Of course that is my opinion. You may think facts are irrelevant to understanding. I cannot possibly know what you think about this.
