  It must be emphasized that ‘\(Q_{C}\)’, for example, is not explicitly defined using color terminology. ‘\(Q_{C}\)’ is not stipulated to be an abbreviation of ‘the property of being an experience of something’s looking crimson’, for instance. Rather, the role of descriptions like the latter is simply to draw attention to the salient property that ‘\(Q_{C}\)’ is supposed to be a name for, in much the same way that one might introduce the unfamiliar name ‘Eugene Cernan’ by saying that it refers to the last man to walk on the moon. In the jargon, the description ‘the property of being an experience of something’s looking crimson’ can be used to fix the reference of ‘\(Q_{C}\)’. (See the entry on  reference.)
