No, that statement is not correct. In a vacuum, there is no medium to transmit light, so you wouldn't be able to see light or color in the traditional sense. Light requires a medium, such as air or a transparent substance like glass or water, to propagate and interact with our eyes. In the absence of such a medium, like in a vacuum, light cannot travel and therefore cannot be perceived visually.
Our ability to see objects and colors relies on the interaction of light with the objects and their subsequent reflection or absorption of certain wavelengths of light. Without a medium for light to interact with, there would be no perception of light or color.
