Is This Color Real?

Alain Briot has published an interesting article on Digital Outback Photo about literal versus expressive representations of color.
I am often asked if the color of a specific photograph is real or not. My answer is always the same. Yes, it is real. The reaction from the person asking the question is usually one of disbelief. They beg to differ. To them the color is not real. To me it is real. Who is right?
Uwe Steinmueller has also added a comment at the end of the article, backing up Alain and developing the discussion with further examples.
