Basically, color you see is the same to ~~electromagnetic~~ visible light spectrum what greens and oranges are to terrain elevation on a map. Mountains aren’t really orange, it’s just a way of indicating higher elevation by agreed means. And in analogous way, color is what our brains decided to represent differences in absorption of visible light.
