There is reality, then there are views/models of reality constructed via various different ways of sensing reality, whether that's a laser-scan depth map, normal human 3-color vision, occasional human 4-color vision, animal UV-sensitive vision, mass detectors, magnetic/electrical field detectors, etc, etc.
Why should we regard one extremely arbitrary way of sensing reality as more important or real than any of the others? Why is reflected light important, not absorbed light? Why visible spectrum vs other frequencies? Why human red/green/blue color cone detection (which is no such thing - they are overlapping curves of frequency spectrum sensitivity)? Why focus on light reflection, not sound? Why focus on surface attributes of objects such as "color" rather then regard other attributes such a mass distribution, or anything else as primary?
