Anyways, from another point of view, we could say that nothing exists.

Think about it, what we really see are just informations that are converted into electrochemical acitvity inside the brain and interpreted as reality. Same for other 4 senses.

So do any color exist or are they simply interpretations of the brain? And how does the brain convert all this electrochemical activity in what we call consciousness?

I think consciousness is what everything is really about. But that's my point of view.

As John Eccles, Nobel Prize winning neurophysicist already said: "I want you to know that there are no colours in the real world, there are no fragrances in the real world, that there’s no beauty and there’s no ugliness. Out there beyond the limits of our perceptual apparatus is the erratically ambiguous and ceaselessly flowing quantum soup. And we’re almost like magicians in that in the very act of perception, we take that quantum soup and we convert it into the experience of material reality in our ordinary everyday waking state of consciousness".

I JUST HAVE A ONE QUESTION FOR ALL OF YOU BRAINY PEOPLE.
I.E.  DOES THE COLOR EXIST AT ALL? I MEAN ANY COLOR.. I THINK IT IS ALL RELATIVE TO THE INDIVIDUAL SENSOR AND PROCESSOR AND EXPERIENCE.. If we teach a young, that the RED is called Green..Then what will happen??????? Think about it!

Diffrent colors are simply photons of the visible light spectrum with diffrent wavelenghts. There is a few pure colors (specific wavelenght) and the rest is a combination of those.

So red (pure red), by difinition is light with a wavelenght of 700nm while green is of 530nm.

So if you tell a kid that red is green you are simply missleading him. Unless he's color blind, he'll see red the same way you do but will simply call it green.

Just like if I met you and told you my name is Biobobluebee while it is actually Poopoopeepee. You'll see me as I am etc. simply will be misslead about my name which has nothing to do with who I am as a human.

These a diffrence between what we see and how we describe/name it. No matter how you describe pure red, by definition it is always light with a 500nm wavelenght.

Hope it helps.

Okay, maybe it doesn't exist "scientifacly" but what if pink isn't a colour but just the name? What if pink is the name of the mix between red and violet? Because think of the colours blue, yellow and red. They're the basic primary colours, but the mixes between them have names, e.g. the mix between yellow and blue is green, red and blue is purple, red and yellow makes orange and so on. And yes, pink is not in the official basic colour wheel, but purple and red is. So I think pink is just a name of a mix.

Wait a minute!  I thought pink was a combination of red and white, not violet!
