Therefore, to me, it is impossible for any human to "objectively" view the universe, as we are corporeal and therefore implicitly use apparatuses.
Of course, I think that in the case of colours and other perceptions we should not judge them against "reality" but against the human norm.

That the human norm, or koinos kosmos, does not provide an objective view of the universe doesn't make it invalid. It's when people use the human norm as objective truth that things get troublesome.
