Why is this not in Philosophy?

Youre right, Hain. This should be in Philosophy because of course it isnt just about color is it? I dont know how to move it though so here we are.

And you don't really specify what it is that you don't believe.

If we were standing beside my red binoculars in the pitch black and you asked me what color those binoculars were, I would tell you red even though I could not see that color. Memory and assumption that when the light returns they will be the red ones. I
see them as red. If you suggested they were black because there is no color in the dark, I would stupidly argue with you knowing all along that you were correct, but I still see them as red.
If you asked me what color your new socks were and lifted your pant leg to show me, I would tell you I have no friggin idea what color they are because it is dark and I cannot see the color.

Why is it so hard to believe that things usually are as they seem?

Yes, that is the essence of the question. Mostly I think we do see things as they are or as they are presented to us, but just occasionally something quirky comes along and makes me wonder.
