The scientism around colour is vast and expansive.
Gilchrist’s quote should be enough for folks to stop and take stock of what we think we know.

Ironically, anyone who examines a greyscale photograph can rule out ranges of colours within a segmented field. Just as musical notes reside within a given octave, it seems colour has a similar correlate with luminance positions; the segmented form becomes the octave, and the notes reside in a hierarchy of increment to decrement relationships within the segmented regions.
