colors aren't colors

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we finally finished watching the Crash Course on philosophy. Here are some of the notes that I took over the course of the entire video:
-Metaphysics- the branch of philosophy that studies the nature and scope of knowledge
-Epistemology- The branch of philosophy that studies the nature and scope of knowledge
-The Value Theory consists of two branches
-Ethics- the branch of philosophy that studies the nature and scope of knowledge
-Aesthetics- the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of beauty
-fallacy- a failure in reasoning or flawed reasoning that leads to an invalid or unsound argument
The steps to philosophy consist of-
1. Try to Understand
2. Critical Evaluation
After taking these notes people in the class tried to explain how we never actually see color, however, I still do not understand it at all. After all the debating the bell rang and ended class.
