The Colorless Universe

The universe has no color.

Objects emit, deflect, absorb and reflect electromagnetic waves in various wavelengths.

My brain then codes the electromagnetic waves into different colors and modifies it*, to create a picture that easier for me to understand  the external world.

My the illusion feels so right and real, more real than reality even it misses more than it catches.

How can it be wrong when it feels so right?

*Note: To be precise, color is not a direct conversion of wavelengths in neurosciences.
