YES. our eyes pick up light waves travelling at certain frequencies bounced of objects, depending on the wavlength our brain relates to it as a colour, that's all it boils down to signals and receivers. if, one day, no one watched television would the signals sent out by the broadcasting houses still exist , yes. Colours are labels used to differentiate between different wavelengths of light.
