6991	We examine objects to determine colour; we do not introspect [Jackson]
	Full Idea: We examine objects to determine their colour; we do not introspect.

	A reaction: Interesting, but the theory of secondary qualities did not arise from experience, but from a theory about what is actually going on. Compare pain appearing to be in your foot.
