Does light have color

I accept Furyan's challenge and will be arguing that light has an objective color, independent of the mind. No structure was laid out by Con, so I will be making my opening arguments immediately.I will be making two different points. The first concerns the physical nature of color, the second concerns a non-minds ability to "recognize color".1. Color is a physical property of light. One could make the specious claim that heat does not exist in reality, but only in the mind. That objects have no temperature unless a mind exists to interpret this temperature. However this argument is obviously flawed, as our ability to perceive temperature has nothing to do with the reality of the existence of heat. Paper still burns upon being introduced to enough heat, regardless of whether a mind exists to perceive this or not. Similarly, color is another objective and physical property of the universe, and is specifically a property of light. Light itself is nothing more than an electromagnetic wave. Color refers to the specific wavelength this wave posseses. The human color spectrum is relatively small, including only a small portion of the EM spectrum. Other animals are capable of seeing color that humans are not, like infrared and UV light. It is not impossible to imagine a creature could exist that has the ability to see color in even more extreme parts of the EM spectrum. It could be argued that the color we see and the physical property of "color" are two different things. Our eyes transform the EM wave into something our mind can understand, just as our nerves transform heat into something our mind can understand. This "reality to mind" transformation done by our brain does not disclude the objective existence of what we are perceiving. In a world in which living creatures did not exist, the sun would still produce yellow, orange, and ultraviolet light, even though no one would be capable of seeing it. This entire topic harkens to the commonly quoted, "If a tree falls in the woods..." conjecture. Based upon our understanding of physics, we know that a tree still makes a sound when falling, regardless of whether a mind is present. Similarly, color still exists regardless of whether a mind is there to see it. 2. Robots are capable of detecting color. If it can be demonstrated that color can be recognized without the existence of any mind, then the opponent's central position cannot be defended. First, it is necessary to understand that a robot does not have a mind in any sense. A computer is a complex array of simple physical reactions, incapable of original thought (or anything that could be considered thought in the first place.) Next, we can see that there have been multiple instances in which a computer has been programmed and equipped with special sensors to differentiate color. In other words, a robot could be programmed to beep a high tone whenever it sees blue and beep a low tone whenever it sees red. The robot's ability to do this directly shows that color can be "seen" without a mind. As such, the premise that "light itself has no color" cannot be defended. ConclusionIn this brief introductory argument, I have made two arguments. The first concerned the objective, physical properties of color and demonstrated that color is not simply an illusion created by the mind, but is a physical property of light. In the second argument, I demonstrated that color can be "perceived" by robots (which do not possess a mind), clearly showing that a mind is not necessary to recognize color. I look forward to my opponent's case and rebuttal.
