As an idea, "blue" is evidently not in the world; but like the number 4, it
originates in the world as a recalling of a certain image. A (blue marbles)
image. Just like "4" is a recalling of a (4 marbles) image. The image was
originally a present object, later an "idea".
"4" and "blue", as ideas, are not that different really (especially late at
night, ... oh well)
