Ludwik, I don't see a problem here -- unless we start talking about the
velocity of the wavelength, the motion of blue, the transport of pi.

Properties don't move independently from an associated object -- a blue
ball can move but blue does not move independently from the ball.  Charge
does not move independently from the electron (what ever that is). The same
is true for all the PROPERTIES mentioned above.
