Why do we see color?

Oh no... really? ...MathMan... I see this trick perhaps... we see lack of "colour" not colour and see is a rough term anyway. If you want to count help me count IQ as a RPG statistic where I can express "super-intelligence" and higher as well as hive minds and lower.
Kevin Warwick, once a cyborg and still a researcher in cybernetics at the University of Reading, has been working on creating neural networks that can control machines. He and his team have taken the brain cells from rats, cultured them, and used them as the guidance control circuit for simple wheeled robots. Electrical impulses from the bot enter the batch of neurons, and responses from the cells are turned into commands for the device. The cells can form new connections, making the system a true learning machine.
Or do you REALLY want to go down the rabbit hole that starts with the 2d retina excited by unique photons collapsing their wave functions to point functions just for you that either hit a rod for black/white image form or cones that gauge intensity more analogue-like with signals "displayed" as colour which still doesn't answer the "how do I know the colour blue for me is the color blue for you?" as I lack an objective crayon box via this medium to invoke...

My own best answer to this question so far is... to answer the question "why" and not "how," because it's an adaptive trait to better recognize chemical and temperature properties of an object. Perhaps there's more to it than that., such as why red, blue and green form the visual and cognitive impressions in our minds as they do.Like (1)

lol yeah it's a bad camera if you don't note the fact that it built itself... you didn't tell me something I wasn't aware of but I admire the simple and direct way you told it. I agree with the straight forward why here but this begs the question "why do we dream?" where adapting a period of coma-like awareness can cause more than ones consciousness to detach form one as Bobbitt would attest to I think. Again I think Kevin Warwick's work with groups of ~20,000 cells if I recall points toward understanding here as well but my jack of all trades master of none mastery means my laymanship plus lack of study aren't worthy of much investment of time without a stronger line of connection... the structure is of major import as well in applying 20,000 cell group units... as always with me this is halfbaked

Because the retinas in our eyes act as prisms that break white light into component colors.

Because your brain interprets the sensory information it receives from your eyes..assigning different "colors" to different wavelengths of light. You have sensors in your eyes for red, green and Blue, as well as dark and light.

we see color because our brain produces it,the real world is shades of grey and black,no lie!

A fair witness or good logician would not be able to report that in testimony you know? "Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next pedestrian crossing." Really it's just a whole bunch of nothingness that electron pressure gives such a feel of solidity too but how real is that reality too me? Like telling an amplitude modulator/demodulator the reality of frequency modulation and electromagnetic propagation... almost pointlessly true

objects reflect the color of light they don't absorb and human eyes have evolved to distinguish a wide variety of colors so we can tell when food like fruit is ripe. The tradeoff is that other animals that can't see as many colors tend to have better night vision or their eyes are more sensitive to motion.
