in what case you would say colors do exist, — Zelebg
and what are the possible cases where you would say colors don't really exist? — Zelebg
Colors do not really exist in the brain — Zelebg
where light waves are encoded from sensory input to form a signal or whatever electrochemical kind of abstract information. — Zelebg
an agent or “self” [...] to decode, understand or perceive those signals as colors — Zelebg
If you say colors do actually exist, then I think you in fact must be proposing a separate realm of existence for their being, some kind of parallel dimension — Zelebg
A pre neural-network (pre 80's) computational picture of the brain?
That is how I understand the question, and my answer is no. Colors do not really exist in the brain where light waves are encoded from sensory input into a signal or whatever electrochemical type of abstract information. So color signals to become real or to exist per se as colors, an agent or “self” is necessary to decode, understand or perceive those signals as colors, while in reality colors might as well look like a monochrome waterfall of Matrix symbols. — Zelebg
This is physicalist nonsense.
Everything we experience is equally a self-generation. Our body doesn't produce just the appearance of colours, but anything we encounter with our senses, including the shape, mass, etc. of.objects . If this self generation was a problem for the reality of colours, it is equally a problem for the reality of anything we experience. — TheWillowOfDarkness
Colors exist as objects of cognition.

And as I was getting at, it’s a dumb question.
Dumb is wasting everyones time to share your purposeles opinion. Go away, shooo! — Zelebg

Is there any other picture of the brain where sensory visual input is not first encoded into serial electric signal in the eye before it even reaches the brain? — Zelebg
a. we actually see colors (colors exist)
b. we only think we see colors (colors do not exist) — Zelebg
Zelebg is right, colour does not exist, only light. — Brett
Likewise you can see a color to experience it. And in describing both experiences, how do we prove its experience? — 3017amen
I'm starting to build a coherent hypothesis that qualia and emotive phenomenon are logically needed to optimally create and convey wisdom, but not at all needed to create data, info, or knowledge.The emotive phenomenon of color choice, may or may not be logically necessary. — 3017amen
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
