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!

    I know David Hume wrote about this and I think he thought it was a secondary property, meaning it wasn't simply intrinsic to the object but was produced in the mind of the observer.

    But I'm guessing there's been a few hundred years of scientific/philosophical advancement since then...
