Different wavelengths of light are absolutely a real, physical thing, but the *interpretation* of those wavelengths as specific colors is entirely due to how your brain interprets light of different wavelengths.

The only difference between red light, green light, and blue light, is the wavelength at which the photon is oscillating. The physical effect of color is a product of our brain, and how we perceive this differences in wavelength. This is no different that the way your radio interprets different radio waves to make different sounds, yet fundamentally they are all the same.
