A realist or physicalist would counter that color is a property/properties of reflective bodies and their interaction with light that exists independently of any consciousness to perceive them. If this is true, then color is in no meaningful way a phenomenon of consciousness, a construct, a side effect, or a feature of consciousness. It is a feature of reality about which we possess representational content, but also, through our eyes, direct detection. In essence, our eyes pick it up, but our brains are more focused on finding uses for that information than the detection and communication of information in the raw. We construct utilitarian stories -about- color, but we don't construct color.
Color constancy and color universality are instructive, in that regard. We call a red object red under a range of illumination - but we do notice the difference, and we can reliably identify red. Deficiencies in either regard are most commonly a defect of the eye, not the brain.. but even when deficient ..they are still detecting properties of the object. This is why color blindness is not random.
It's irrelevant, but it's a much better convo, lol.
