My understanding is that "blue" is the colour that the object is not -- the
colour reflected back to the eye. Want to factor that in?

RH in particular may be interested to comment on a suggestion I read
elsewhere that what P&M translate as "Roughly speaking: objects are
colourless" [which might suggest there is a contrasting sense in which they
have colour] is more properly translated as 'As an aside/By the
by/Incidentally: objects are colorless".
In this case it would seem that something that is blue is not an object, at
least according to Wittgenstein.
How does anyone like dem apples [which according to this interpretation are
not simples either]
