It's to do with wavelength reflection and absorption

Wow... that's really weird to think about... And at night it's harder to see those colors... because there's no light to reflect back the colors? I dunno... And to think that some animals and even people can't see colors.  
It almost makes me wonder is color exists, or if its just our brain interpreting the world ask yourself this, in a perfectly pitch dark room, Is a yellow poster still yellow? 
It still reflects the same wavelengths of light, just because it isn't at the time, doesn't mean it has changed colour.

You know, I would have to agree with you, that it makes me wonder if they do actually exist. If its more just us knowing what things SHOULD look like, therefore, the colours appear. It could very well be that we interpret all these things. Its scary to think that, considering there are some colours in this world that are gorgeous, and practically worth living for; but were that the case... well.. I guess we'd finally truly know.

Most of what we see is our brain interpreting the world. Blind people (from birth) who somehow have their sight restored later on don't see distinct objects like we do, they just see indecipherable masses of color. While some, with a great deal of effort, are able to hone their vision to the point where it actually becomes a useful sense, others simply give up on the sense and put on dark-shaded glasses for the rest of their life.

By physics I would say that colour is a result of visible light of a particular wavelength being reflected by the object, while all other visible light is absorbed by that object. But that is nothing to do with what we perceive a colour to be. Yes, I agree that the brain then interprets the light and assigns certain perceptions of colour to each bandwidth of reflected light. And these perceptions are probably different to each and every human being (that is, if they're not blind). And this also might have something to do with the fact that red-green colour blind people still distinguish their shades of grey as 'colours'

probably because of the shades being slightly darker/lighter and then understanding what they are called.
