... you're kidding, right? Color isn't like mass, speed, acceleration,
distance, time, etc. Color is entirely subjective. Even different
people see color differently. Color has been entirely explained as a
consequence of the physics of absorption of different wavelengths of
light by molecules. You don't need to invoke another dimension.
