In Rediscovering Colors: A Study in Pollyanna Realism Michael Watkins endorses the Moorean view that colors are simple non-reducible properties of objects. Consequently Watkins breaks from what has become the received view that either colors are reducible to certain properties of interest to science or else nothing is really colored. What is novel about the work is that Watkins unlike other Mooreans takes seriously the metaphysics of colors. Consequently Watkins provides an account of what colors are how they are related to the physical properties on which they supervene and how colors can be causally efficacious without the threat of causal overdetermination.
