Abstract
Abstract For those of us blessed with sight, colours have been manifest in the scenes before our eyes ever since such scenes first came into focus. Familiarity has not bred understanding, however. The nature of these old acquaintances remains a matter of dispute. The dispute is intimately tied to ‘the hard problem’ of visual consciousness-the problem of determining the nature of visual consciousness.
