  Color is nothing more than the way your eye-brain responds to different
  frequencies of visible light--An evolutioary process of life on Earth.

  You are not understanding the Twin Paradox. It is nicely explained in
  many textbooks including
  Hartle, James B,
  Gravity: An introduction to Einstein's General Relativity
  San Francisco Addison-Wesley, c2003, QC173.6 .H38 2003, 530.11 21, ISBN 0805386629
  Sec 4.4 Time Dilation and the Twin Paradox.
