Color and Color Perception: A Study in Anthropocentric Realism (Volume 9)

by David R. Hilbert

In contrast with subjectivism, an objectivist analysis of color takes color to be a property objects possess in themselves, independently of the character of human perceptual experience. This analysis of color is shown to provide a more adequate account of the features of human color vision than its subjectivist rivals.

I found the subject of this undertaking fascinating, and usually I have no issues with a highly academic writing style. But I just couldn't make it past the first 20 pages. To say it bored me to tears wouldn't exactly be true, because upon each attempt to get past a few lines I think my eyes dried out in record time and nearly shriveled back into my orbital cavities. 1 star for originality, 1 star for seriousness of work, 1 star for effort. But that's it.
