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!

    colour = frequency/wavelength, brightness = intensity completely different peoperties of a certain wave

      RGBA models this

      Tangentially related, PBR does a fantastic job of modeling how color actually works with light and brightness in the real world. The core rule is that you have to have conservation of energy, so a surface reflecting light can never appear brighter than the light it's reflecting.
