Thank you for these videos
I am having a trouble with the notion of "Color" because there is no color in the skin (using your example) neither color in the sight or the eye, neither color on the light or electromagnetic radiation, you get what we call "color" only when there is accidents in relation to each other, the power of sight + electromagnetic radiation (light) + and a medium through which the light travels and/or is reflected on (the skin for example). Color is also called "visible light" because for color to be a thing it needs the person with sight sensing electromagnetic radiation at a specific frequency as such and such "color". So color is not an actual thing in that or that substance but only exists through an accidental relation of sense power, the accidents of light and of the medium for light. Help me please ❤

They are accidents divisible into accidents by how they are holding themselves toward something (a relation called se habere ad aliquid).
