Yes, you could argue that nothing really exists other than in your brain, all that is really out there is a mass of atoms bouncing around, its only in your brain that any sense is made of them all. Maybe reality was created 1 second ago with the illusion of age, that can't be shown to be false either. But most people don't think that and most people live with the idea of colour being real too.
I see that you didnt really understand the article.
Colour is your brains interpretation of light signals, things may look like one colour but, in a diferent context, look like an entirely different colour, what this means is that the colour is not 'real'.
Physical objects do exist, they arent just your brains interpretation, this table (knock,knock) has an actual physical prescence were as colour does not.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
