Well. I operate under the idea that we can only perceive three colors. Everything else is based on the brain's interpretation of that input. That is, for example, we don't see purple, the brain invents purple.

That aside, simply put, reality is a consensus. And it exists collectiveky for those who buy into that agreement.
