Do colours have an independent existence?

Color exists only in the mind of the observer. Those colors are the result of our brains interpreting data sent to it by our eyes. Our eyes get that data from electromagnetic radiation. Color does not exist. However, the radiation we perceive as color does exist.

Hello G:

Color? No, I don't think so. Color differs from person to person, however the spectrum of light does exist.

This actually goes into it rather well.

Minty, Quora is not a reliable source of factual information. You should stop regarding it as such.

We interpret things to be coloured differently dependent upon which frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum are reflected by that thing. If an object does not reflect light at all then it will be black. If it reflects the entire spectrum it will be white.

Yes of course how could it be as it only has bona fide lecturers , physicists and scientists who don’t have 80 alt accounts like you , as usual with you discredit all sources except of course the ones you never reference

I don't think there is a single source of factual information that one can completely hang their hats on. That said, Quora had some information regarding the topic that was interesting. It has the same reliability as Wiki, but in my opinion is a slight step above.

Hello:

Do you mean is ORANGE orange even though NOBODY sees it? I'd say yes. But, it's a little deep for me.. I'm rather shallow.

Yes they do but the existence is in the mind. This is not a joke, it is a concept to understand; reality is in your head but that is something you must deny for the sake of sanity.
