So colors as in lights different wavelengths are real but the names and distinctions we formulated are social constructs?
Sometimes even the perception of colors can be slightly different.
For example, some studies have shown that the way we name categories of colors in the language can make some cultures differenciate more quickly certain hue or value of the same color
Note that is to put in perspective with the more recent studies. The hypothesis of linguistic relativity (or "Sapir-Whorf" hypothesis) suggest that the language can influence drastrically the perception of the world. My example with Arrival comes from this theory.
BUT
Recent studies have been poundering the influence of language on the cognitive perception of concepts and while they admit that there is an influence, it is not as radical as we think. So we need to stay prudent as cultural differences will also create different cognitive perceptions.
This studies, for ex, shows that Russian can perceive some hue of Blue quicker than other culture:

In the end, yes, there is a part of biology (we can all see colors) but the way we are educated and transformed by society will guide or cognitive perception. Making the perception of color (not really color themselves) a social construct.
No, but i bet you are having a nice time in here.
