Does color exist?

That's part of what I was getting at. What sort of signal would we even send? Assuming we have control over sensory perception, we could accompany the ultraviolet spectrum with the scent of violets, and then just scale through it in a similar manner, but then how do you discern between the UV radiation and visible radiation? Context clues?

Perception and the ability to deliver that perception would be the biggest hurdles. We already have photoreceptors down pretty well.
