AB - The question of whether colors exist either inside or outside the mind has been raised since ancient times. This paper critically examines Michael Tye’s objectivist replies to the subjectivist claim on the nature of color. Color subjectivists such as Cosmides & Tooby employ simultaneous color contrast phenomenon to support their position. One of Tye’s replies is that there are ‘Normal’ observers by which we can determine true colors. Another reply relies on the analogy to the simultaneous phenomenon of shape. I point out that Tye’s replies are wrong-headed not only because ‘Normality’ is groundless but also because Tye’s comparison between shapes and colors turns out to be disanalogous. Further, Tye’s claim fails to explain our ordinary mistakes on color perception. In conclusion, Tye’s objectivist account of the nature of color is far from satisfactory.
