That is false, Spiff. Colors can be perceived as a result of a pure frequency
or as a result of the mixture of two or more frequencies. The eye only responds
to two or three different regions of the spectrum. This is why only three
different kinds of phosphor elements in a CRT display are able to reproduce
such a wide variety of hues.

From this it does not follow that every brain perceives color in the same way,
or that color exists independently of the observer. I don't see the necessary
connection between frequency and the sensation of color.
