Some of the main current philosophical theories of color are briefly presented. Based on them and as an analogy, several hypothetical philosophies of heat are offered. Finally, after a discussion and criticism of the hypothetical philosophies of heat, a proposal is offered to deal with the problem of color which solves some of the troubles faced by some current philosophies of color. The limitations of this proposal are also mentioned and discussed.
