Only if you believe in 'red', and '2'. That is, in dualism, ideas
separate from their material instances: souls, not to put too fine
a point on it. If, on the other hand, you were a materialist, then
you would say that there are as many reds as there are red things,
and that 'red' doesn't exist in and of itself.
Not that this is SL4, no matter which side of the fence you're
on, but no one seems to care anymore. :/
