- We will not be able to see any objects without them ‘having colors.’ However, the objects in the world do not have inherent colors. The ‘color perception’ is mind-made via Paticca Samuppada.
Color perception is part of kama sanna, right? The Arahant also has kama sanna (but does not attach to it). The Arahant does not operate on PS anymore. Thus, color perception can not be generated by PS. Also, kama sanna comes before the PS-step avijja paccaya sankhara.
On the other hand, bhava, jati, and kaya are mind-made by PS. Is that what you intend to say?
