and also, i think you misunderstood my original point
that's all fine and dandy, and i understand how mixing two colors will give you a color roughly in between those two on the spectrum
but why then when you mix red (long wavelength) with blue (short wavelength) do you get purple (even shorter wavelength)?

I wasn't addressing that part of your post. I was addressing your final conclusion:
"i suppose color itself is a qualia, though, and not actually a property of matter itself."
This to me sounded as if you thought there wasn't an answer to this question since color was just a qualia and therefore could not be scientifically described. I don't agree with that. I believe there is an answer and you can probably find it somewhere on this grand thing we call the internet.
