How do you see color in outer space?

In: Astronomy [Edit categories]

Answer:

The same way you would see colour on Earth, by the reception of light waves by your eyes.

I was taught that we see color because our atmosphere refracts light much like a prism breaks out each color from visible light. Since there is no atmosphere in space I don't understand how we see color.
