Of course the person would have no memory of the colors because he never had saw them. But when you place him in a world full of color he would realize something was different. He wouldn't know what to call them but he would know that they weren't black or white. Eventually, he would learn what the colors were. I guess this would have to prove that colors aren't innate. They are taught to us by others and stored in our memories. If we never learned anything, how could we remember it again?

You can see color and know that the colors you are seeing are different from one another, but like you said the names are taught to you. Your mom may give you an apple and say it's red or a banana and tell you its yellow. Knowing a color's name cannot be innate because language is not innate. You develop your language from your surroundings.
Its all about your innate ideas and your instinct. when your younger you start to develop your language from the environment that you are in.
