    If a bee sees a color we cannot, it would be pretty silly to insist it’s not a color on the basis of us being unable to see it, wouldn’t it?

      Are there creatures that see radio? (Which I suppose is pretty general.) if so, they must hate us.

      Color is visible light in the human spectrum. We would say they see in the ultraviolet or infrared spectrum. Non human animals don’t use the literature so it’s designed with human perception in mind.
