| Abstrakt: |
Paul Churchland has recently offered a novel argument for the "objective reality" of color. The strategy he employs to make this argument is an instance of a more general research program for interpreting perceptual content, "domain-portrayal semantics." In the first half of the article, I point out some features of color vision that complicate Churchland's conclusion, in particular, the context-sensitive and inferential nature of color perception. In the second half, I examine and defend the general research program, concluding it is naturalistic in a minimal sense and should be of interest to naturalists and non naturalists alike.
