I asked you if everyone was blind to the color "red" how would you prove it's existence, you stated essentially 'through the use of instrumentation'.
We know that more than 4 primary colors exist, so show me a fourth primary color, shouldn't be too hard since there are devices that can do so as you just stated.
You have deliberately posed a question in a way that cannot be answered because the question itself is meaningless.
To illustrate, if I give you an answer, specifying the exact wavelength, how will you determine if it is correct or not?
Are you talking about additive or subtractive mixing?
Which specific organism are you talking about?
This is just a disingenuous way to avoid acknowledging the fact that your god cannot be measured objectively and reproducibly.
You asked how we determine reality.
I answered that we can measure it and reproduce those measurements with a device.
You are deliberately equivocating between context specific and universally objective.
do "primary" colors exist?
Quote:At bottom, the only justification for primary colors is to minimize the number of components required to mix all colors. This limitation makes biological sense if you are evolving a color sensing eye (and need to minimize the number of photoreceptor cells), mathematical sense if you want to model how that eye works (and want to do it with the fewest variables), economic sense if you are printing a color job (where each color requires a separate printing plate, ink, and pass with the printing press), or technological sense if you are manufacturing color televisions or computer monitors or color film (where each color requires a separate phosphor or dye).
But in every case the choice of primary colors is either arbitrary or imperfect. And if you are not building eyes or modeling color vision responses or running a printing press or designing a computer monitor, and can inexpensively "expand your gamut" with four colors — or six, or twelve, or twenty — on your palette, then "primary" colors are irrelevant to the task before you.
