like as a physical property. i don’t know any color-ology maybe there’s a simple way to make me get it but

IT SEEMS like color depends entirely on BRIGHTNESS so an OBJECT can’t have a fixed COLOR because BRIGHTNESS changes all the time!

Yea I believe there’s a general band of frequencies that generally is described as red or whatever other color, as generally perceived by the human. (Bc ofc some of it can be cultural or subjective or even change depending on color blindness or other conditions)

You can find charts describing the ranges, eventually the visual range gives way to ultraviolet and so on.

There are ranges that we aren’t able to perceive but birds are.

If only we could see microwaves, we’d finally be able to catch the culprit behind Havanna syndrome
