 The use of the expression“colors-as-we-see-them” has certain advantages, in that it brings out certain important features of colors. The first is that it implies that a comprehensive account of color is going to depend on an account of perceptual experience. Given the controversies on that topic, it is likely to mean that similar disputes will spill over to the subject of color. For example, on some views, colors-as-we-see-them will be certain properties presented in experience. According to other views, they will be certain properties that material things are represented as having. On a third view, Color Projectivism, the qualities presented in visual experiences are subjective qualities, which are ‘projected’ on to material objects: the experiences represent material objects as having the subjective qualities. Those qualities are taken by the perceiver to be qualities instantiated on the surfaces of material objects (the perceiver does not ordinarily think of them as subjective qualities).
