It's the way your eyes differentiate color. For example, white is the very center of the color spectrum, white is nothing; it's not a color. On the other hand, red looks different from yellow or blue, because that's the way we see it. Light also has frequency (energy waves), and wavelengths, that allow most people to distinguish a vast array of colors. The reason the colors go in order from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple, then to progressive ultraviolet is because of its steady decline in wavelength, but increase in frequency and energy. However, if you are colourblind, then your eyes do not have the ability to tell colors from each other, for example, if you are extremely colourblind, to a point to which you can only see black and white, you can only see and distinguish 2 colours. If you have slight colorblindness, you will only substitute colors for what you actually see, whether it is blue instead of green or red instead of orange.

So, color is just the way we as humans see it.
