At what level of concern?  You may discern an analog nature of a color
wheel.  When you start probing wavelengths of light, you'll find
discreteness all the way to quanta of energy related to the working
theory of electrons.  Beyond that you return to probability
distribution of where/how an electron will exist.

So is the world *intrinsically* any particular way?  I don't think we
can answer that without first defining a lot of parameters that
eventually forces the answer to depend on those parameters.
