    Music is a pattern of wiggling air. Color is just a frequency of wiggling because all light is wiggling, but not a pattern of frequencies. I think it would be more congruent is the statement were “movies are just the wiggling of the electromagnetic field”.

      Not all colors are just a single frequency. Like, magenta can only exist as a sum of red and blue light. So colors are also patterns of wiggling

        I can’t tell you how pleasing it is to see this take instead of the usual “magenta isn’t real” bit

          No color is ‘real’. Only frequencies are real. But colors are real in our minds, just as sound is.

            None of the human senses are real. It’s all just our brains trying to make sense of the limited information we can get
