If “the brain assumes that spatial frequencies coincident with the cell spacing are most probably because the object is that color, not because the object is weirdly striped as black and white in exactly the same pattern as the retina”, an object perceived as red from 4 meters away would be perceived as purple from 2 meters away (or vice versa), and as yellow from 3 meters distance (the visible light spectrum roughly is from 400nm to 800nm)

And that would apply to all objects.
