If your conscious, internal experience of all the colors is like mine except rotated by one (so that my ROYGBIV is your OYGBIVR) we would still be in 100% agreement about the color of any test object
I think color theory demonstrates that this isn't true and it would need to be an inverted rainbow or one of "new" colors in order to stay consistent.
If two people agree that R + G = Y, in no way does that constrain or tell us anything about the conscious experience of each person in relation to those colors, except that it is consistent for each person, but not necessarily between them.
Sure, but are the categories of "warm" and "cool" purely a learned thing or are they an inherent connection in how we perceive things? Someone perceiving V as R and I as V would still get a smooth gradient of colors in terms of addition and subtraction, but that isn't the only thing to consider.

Yes, warm and cool colors are abstract concepts, they are not physical things beyond wavelength.
Abstract or not, they may still be part of a human's psychology
