I know there is a difference between pigment and refraction in terms of colors (like, a plant always being green as long as it’s got chlorophyll, compared to a feather that looks green when reflecting the light properly but then turns gray-brown when it gets wet or something)

I know those processes are different ways of causing our eyes to see color

But i wish people would stop trying to describe it as “oh this thing isn’t REALLY this color, it just looks that way because of how it reflects the light”

That does not help my brain understand the process, because i just go “…yes, that is how all colors work”
