    Argument B commits a mistake analogous to the one diagnosed in a prior argument, warranting endorsement of color relativism

    • 1.The analogy between Argument B and the prior argument fails if color predicates track mind-independent reflectance properties, as Hilbert and Byrne argue.

    • 2.If color realism is true, relativizing color predicates to perceivers misidentifies the semantic content rather than correcting it.

    • 1.Color relativism generates unacceptable semantic consequences: two perceivers asserting 'the tomato is red' would never genuinely disagree, only talk past each other.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Faultless disagreement accounts, as Lasersohn notes, require a standard of correctness that pure relativism about color cannot supply without collapsing into subjectivism.

    One might diagnose a similar mistake in Argument B, and thus endorse relativism about color. According to relativism the tomato is not red simpliciter: rather, it is red relative to Nonvert (not green relative to Nonvert), and green relative to Invert (not red relative to Invert). In other words, the tomato is simultaneously red-for-Nonvert and green-for-Invert. Since, on this view, the tomato looks red-for-Nonvert to Nonvert, and red-for-Invert to Invert, both their experiences are veridical, d
