Who own the colors?
And what makes red for instance red? not light red or dark red?

When we measure something, you know that 1 meter will always be 1 mete anywhere, but when choosing a color we face a problem defining the color.
One of the leading company in defining the colors in PANTONE, by giving every color a number
Although the PANTONE numbering system is not an international standard, it’s the most common system used to define the numbers

I think the photo you placed gives one clue to the subject.. sometimes a certain color is so related to figural standards in memory, like the red on a clown_ known objects, known things.. based on this we can stretch the limit of both colors and images by lessening the red in a defined look of a clown, or minimizing the imagery elements (like the hair or the nose) that define a clown and define him rather with the color red..

interesting thought
