    That theory assumes that color is real. Color is just some photons smacking into your retina and then the brain deciding what that even means.

      Well, sorta. Different materials bounce different wavelengths of light that our eyes catch and send to the brain to piece together and interpret color from. There is a degree of responsibility for what we see on the object the light bounces off of in the form of what wavelengths they absorb or reflect.
