Are they? I am sure you must have seen art forms from centuries ago from cultures very alien to your own and were still moved. But even if it was cultural you would still have to wonder why no one is catering to that culture. If a segment of the population really did see colors differently wouldn't someone make stuff for them to get that market?
Just look at how associations between color and genders differ between cultures and change over time. Those differences absolutely exists, you're just not seeing it because you're not the target audience
