Note: there is no assumption that it will be the same bands of the electromagnetic spectrum in each case, only that there will be bands representing each colour rather than colour being continuous spectrum.
I have no idea what this means. It seems to be based on the idea that color is a thing (or, perhaps, a bunch of things, each of which is "a color") or that color = some specific reflectance or transmission pattern. Is that right?
Perhaps an actual example of how color might fit into some theory would help me figure out what you’re saying. (I can’t believe that I’m the only one who is completely lost as to what s being asked or asserted.)
