[QUOTE="FrumiousBandersnatch, post: 76422780, member: 241055"] Not quite sure what you're asking here, but the reason colour is considered a secondary quality is that it is subjective, so we don't, in general, know how others perceive it, only that we generally agree [I]about[/I] it. We know that colour-blind people don't perceive or experience colour the way fully-sighted people do because they don't agree with them about certain aspects of it. ISTM that there's a choice between accepting external/objective reality, and solipsism... [/QUOTE]
