Did you read the article?

“All colors are made up by the brain. Full stop,” says this visual scientist at Newcastle University in England. They’re our brain’s way of interpreting signals from our eyes. And they add so much meaning to things we perceive, she says.

I would still differenciate between: "Does the brain map the Physical World to custom signals, or will it add something to it, because its not possible to see both"

Edit: I meant spectral color and nonspectral color.

There is still a meaningful distinction between spectral and non-spectral colors as far as I (a non-scientist) is concerned: what one is saying is "this is my perception of a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation" and non-spectral colors are "this is my perception of some kind of weird interference between opposing colors or a bizarre trick of the brain or whatever". Color as such is still a purely mental phenomenon but what instigates that phenomenon can be different.

Thats what I was trying to say.

That there is a difference in colors between "Physical world" and "Wrong interpretation of the Physical world"

A real color versus not real.
