I wonder, if everybody was color blind would green cease to be a fundamental property of physics?

Why not? Roughly speaking, if everyone was 2-dimensional, why would we see the world as 3-dimensional?

Edit: this came out wrong, for obscure reasons.

Are you substituting in "believed to be a fundamental property of physics" for "being a fundamental property of physics"?
