Applies to many other colors as well. I “understand” why that is but it hurts my brain to think about.

    Colors are physical wavelengths of light within a spectrum between UV and IR. WTF are you talking about.

      I’m a physicist and no, color is not a physical property of light. Color is a subjective experience created by our mind in response to electrical signals from our eyes.

      Colors don’t exist in the physical world. Yellow is just how our brain intreprets a certain wavelenght of light. The qualia of it exists only in your consciousness.
