Experiments with squirrel monkeys suggests that the monkeys can effectively learn new color qualia. It requires gene therapy that’s a bit more risky then brewing your own vaccine together but it’s technology that works.
And most importantly, if color is a property of brains rather than something in the external world, does that imply the number of “possible colors” is infinite?
I don’t see how that changes anything about that. If you use real numbers to model color you already have infinitive shades of colors. Adding the number of possible cone configurations in the eye adds a lot of additional one’s but there’s a physical limit of ways those can be configured.
