Tye's book has a number of merits, and it also raises a number of problems. It presents a throughly elaborated philosophical view of perception and phenomenal consciousness. It is easily accessible even to those unfamiliar with the philosophical jargo. Both of Tye's books about consciousness are well worth reading; they are enjoy-able, and the thorough reader will learn a lot form them about theories of consciousness and the philosophy of color. Still, attractive and neatly elaborated theories are sometimes mistaken, and, in my opnion. Tye's representational externalist approach to phenomenal character is one such case. However, understanding this very fact can come as a profound insight about the nature of mind-and that of color.
