Nothing has colour. Objects simply emit or reflect different bits
of the electromagnetic spectrum.
A "white" object will appear red under red light, blue under blue
light, and so on.
Colour is what we (and other enabled creatures) perceive after
stimuli received by the eye have been processed by the eye and brain.
Part of that processing "corrects" for the colour balance of the
ambient light. That's why cameras need white balance settings
(tungsten, daylight, etc.). The human eye/brain does "auto",
usually without us noticing.
Sounds like the beginning of a semantics debate to me.
I'll sit this one out.
