I've never seen any serious scientists make the claim that color only exists in our mind. That is a misnomer spread by scientifically illiterate philosophers overstating the role of their own conscious experience. Science has clearly stated how color exists in the world.

If you mean in the form of reflectance properties of surfaces, then I agree completely. It's the putative qualitative aspect of colour that's supposed to be mind-dependent.

They just need to be something like a relation between our sensory system and the world to explain why they are neither outside or inside of us.

I'm sympathetic to that line

I haven't been able to find any rigorous statements by scientists on colours not being in the world or being or not being in our minds. Do you have some references?

:) It depends on what we mean by 'colour' of course. But since Galileo it's been pretty widely agreed that colour in the purely qualitative sense is mind-dependent

Color as a subjective phenomenon is a simpler level of description than color as an objective phenomenon.

Even the idealists I read wouldn't say that colors 'must be in our minds.' There are presuppositions packed into this notion of 'in/out' that most people don't even see. Sure, you can get away with saying it either way, but it really is a word game at that point.

Right. Would 'mind-dependent' be better?
