Our brains interpret and attribute meaning to the signals relating

to the "external world." As an example, consider the sense of hearing.
It's our brain that in fact interprets and transforms the sound waves in-
to a symphony. That is to say, music is yet another perception created
by our brain. In the same manner, when we perceive colors, what
reaches our eyes is merely light of different wavelengths. Again, it's our
brain that transforms these signals into colors. There are no colors in
the "external world"; neither is an apple red, nor the sky blue, nor the
leaves green. They appear as they do simply because we perceive them
to be so.
Even a slight defect in the eye's retina can cause color blindness.
Some sufferers perceive blue and green as the same, some red as blue.
At this point, it does not matter whether or not the outside object is col-

ored.
The prominent thinker George Berkeley also addresses this fact:
At the beginning, it was believed that colors, odors, etc., "really exist," but
subsequently such views were renounced, and it was seen that they only
exist in dependence on our sensations. 268
