Thank you for your reply!

The pigments used for Pantone colors may have an objective reality...

If there were no universals, there could be no pigments having an objective reality...

The perception of color is completely beside the point. The point of a universal is that it exists, even if it cannot be perceived at all.

Would you care to shift universals with RWP and try pi or threeness?

For the record: you shifted universals. I took that as a concession that you're no longer claiming green is a universal. If not, let me know, and we can discuss how loose the criteria for a universal can be.

On a related note (with practical applications), one can ask if there is a "Platonic" e-flat (or any other tone.) Also, is the a "Platonic" major third or tritone?
