    Supports→Color experiences represent objects as having hue magnitudes, and these hue magnitudes are certain physical properties, which can explain similarity relations among hues and the binary/unique distinction

    If the right account of how hue magnitudes contribute to representational content is given, then similarity relations among hues and the binary/unique distinction can be explained in terms of the content of color experience

    Key Terms

    Representational content(as what explains how our beliefs can mean something)
    The ability of thoughts, mental images, or beliefs to be 'about' something in the real world—like how the thought 'it's raining' represents an actual weather condition.
    binary/unique distinction(as used in color perception studies)
    The difference between colors that appear 'pure' or single (unique hues like true red or true blue) versus colors that seem to blend two hues together (binary, like reddish-yellow).

    hue magnitudes(Byrne and Hilbert's account of color realism)
    Properties that color experiences represent objects as having, which are identified with certain physical properties and whose contribution to representational content explains hue similarity relations and the binary/unique hue distinction
    similarity relations(as used in philosophy of perception)
    The ways that things can be alike or resemble each other according to specific features. For instance, orange and red are similar because they're both warm colors.

    Tye and Byrne and Hilbert have proposed a solution to this last problem, one that depends on exploiting the opponent-processing model of color vision (see Supplement Color Science: Some Complexities.). It is to specify the relevant groups of spectral reflectances, associated with each color, in terms of their capacity to produce suitable responses of the visual system. The argument, by Byrne and Hilbert, proceeds in two steps: (1) it is argued that color experience are characterized as having a
