During a science fair, a group of students came up with the following question: "Is color an inherent property in objects or is it a product of the mind?" Why would this question be extremely difficult to answer scientifically?

How people experience color varies.
Color is not an observable phenomenon.
It does not attempt to explain the natural world.
The experimental group would be too large.

My guess is C? Can someone check me?

I would actual say A. How people experience color varies; because light is part of the natural world, It's an observable phenomenon, and The experimental group doesn't have to be that large to find what you want. But not every one sees light the same away.

An example of that would be a huge outbreak on the internet about the color of a dress. Some people would say that it was one color while other would say otherwise.
