So now you're saying colour is not determined by wavelength?
You're nit-picking my words. I'm not writing a scientific paper. I'm sure you know what I meant. The actual sensation of color is a subjective phemomenon originating in and perceived by the mind. The nature of that color sensation is determined by the wave length of the light waves striking the retina. Light waves carry attributes such as wave length and polarization. They do not carry color along with them. (I could go into retinal cones and rods, and how they respond to different light waves, but I would rather stick to fractals.) Finally, I have been working with color for 30 years. If I have been wrong about its subjective nature all this time, please enlighten me. Jim M.
