Does color depend on wavelength?

Simply put yes. Color is determined by our interpretation of light that is receive in our eyes. Colors can be created in various ways with various combinations of specific wavelengths of light. In addition each color can be represented by an individual wavelength of light. Therefore it is dependent on wavelength.

What is the relationship between the color of light and its wavelength?

Each color has a wavelength and frequency associated with it. We're familiar with the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. These colors range from longer wavelength (lower frequency) red up through shorter wavelength (higher frequency) violet. As one moves up through those colors from red to violet, the color is an indication to relative wavelength.
