Plants are green because they absorb all other wavelengths of light. And bounce the green into your eye. In actual fact, color only exists in your brain as a way to understand the world around us. Our eyes are just sensors that detect light. And color is how we process it. We could have evolved into understanding it in different ways too, like smell. Therefore color doesnt even exist in the and natural world. Green is just an illusion of our mind.

Color exists physically as different wavelengths of light. The thing “in your mind” is about non-natural colors which trigger multiple light cones in your eye and your brain interprets them a certain way different than the natural colors. In that sense you do interpret the wavelengths one way or another in your head, but the actual light wavelengths so exist.

  Yeah wavelengths exist. But ALL color only exists in your mind as perception. Natural and non natural.
  
  If color existed outside of light touching your eye, you would be able to deduce it without light.
  
  Fun to think about.
