Two Uses of the Analogy Between Colors and Values

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper distinguishes two different uses of the analogy between colors and values, the projectivist and the objectivist. The projectivist use of the analogy has a long history, which goes back to Hume. The objectivist use of the analogy is a fairly recent addition. The core contention of this paper is that the projectivist's use fails, and that only the objectivist offers a genuine use for the analogy between colors and values.
