    Challenges→Color relativism resolves the conflict between Nonvert's and Invert's color experiences without making either experience non-veridical

    Key Terms

    Color discourse(what the statement is explaining)
    All the ways we talk and think about colors in everyday language and thought.
    Subjective states(the private experiences the argument discusses)
    Your personal, inner experiences that only you directly have access to—like what pain feels like to you, your emotions, or what a color looks like from your perspective.
    color predicates(as used in philosophy of perception)
    Words or descriptions we use to talk about colors, like 'red' or 'blue'—basically, the language we use to assign colors to things.
    genuine properties of objects(as used in metaphysics)
    Real, objective characteristics that belong to things themselves, independent of whether anyone is around to observe them.
    indexed to perceivers
