    Supports→The color physicalist must explain what the features presented in or represented in color experience are, given that those features are distinct from reflectances.

    Cohen's relationalist objection notwithstanding, the mathematical isomorphism between Munsell color space and SSR similarity space is an empirically confirmed, non-trivial explanatory resource.

    Key Terms

    Cohen(as a reference to mathematical results about axioms)
    Paul Cohen was a mathematician who proved in the 1960s that certain basic assumptions about infinity and sets cannot be proven true or false from the other standard rules of mathematics.
    Empirically confirmed(describing how we know the two color systems match)
    Proven true through actual observation and experiments, rather than just through logic or theory alone.
    Mathematical isomorphism(as evidence that two different color systems have the same underlying structure)
    A perfect structural match between two different systems—like how two maps of the same city might look different but show identical relationships between locations.
    Munsell color space(as one of the color organization systems being compared)
    A systematic way of organizing and naming colors based on three properties: hue (which color), value (how light or dark), and chroma (how intense or muted).

    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    Non-trivial explanatory resource(describing the importance of the matching structures between color systems)
    Something that genuinely helps us understand why something is true, rather than just restating the obvious or being unhelpful.
    Relationalist objection(as a philosophical argument about the nature of color)
    A criticism of the idea that colors (or other properties) only exist because we perceive them in relation to us, rather than existing objectively in the world.
    SSR similarity space(as the other color system being compared to Munsell)
    A technical model (likely standing for a specific color perception theory) that maps how similar different colors appear to human observers.
