But remember, the fact that colors are "objective" is an elaborate
calculation done by the visual system; a calculation that attempts to
take account of the illumination; wildly differing spectra, which would
be taken to be completely different colors if displayed side-by-side, are
taken to be the same color when displayed in an appropriate background.
I see no reason why some property of sound which is not really objective,
and is environment-dependent, could not be processed in much the same way.

On the other hand, I don't see how phase shift would lend itself to such.
So... I tend to agree it's not analogous, but not for that reason.
