How real are colors?
Color perception between physics, neurobiology and sensitivity
"I see something you can't see, and that's green!" This saying from an old child's play is based on the assumption that there is a common perception of colors. Colours would therefore be an objective reality independent of the viewer. Or is color just an illusion created by our brain?

Is a tree really green - even if nobody sees it? And when we see colors, do we share this experience with others, or does each individual perceive something different? Mankind has been preoccupied with these questions for thousands of years - and science has given and gives different answers to them.
