Well, part of it has to do with my inability to function properly in certain situations. For example, I have stopped at blinking yellow lights before, because at night it is difficult to determine the position of the lights. If my perception was correct in this regard then the system of traffic lights would fail at night. Mostly it comes from from repetively being told by everyone that I am wrong about colors, so I am either colorblind, or it is the world's greatest conspiracy.
