Comment on Mind Projection Fallacy

the overwhelming majority doesn't get the idea that "true color" doesn't exist.

Count me among them.

I define "true color" as the frequency mix of light together with its brightness. It's perfectly well measurable -- for example, I happen to own a device which will tell me what color it's looking at. People in photography and design care about "true color" very much -- they carefully calibrate their devices (monitors, printers, etc.) to show proper colors.

Go look at e.g. CIE color spaces.
