Could there be other colours?

The colour spectrum that we can see - between black and white - are all that exist.

A teacher I had many years ago actually believed that we all saw different colours from each other.

What we called 'green' would be different for each person. The grass is green, yet someone's colour green could be someone elses pink and we'd never know?

That is entirely likely and would explain why people feel differently about different colours and mixes. That's not the same as an entirely undiscovered colour though

There are other frequencys of which we see at the moment but most would be variations of pre-known colours or just lighter and darker. Something tells me they would of been found.

In "Do Ants have Bums" their editor says: I've made a new colour, it's a reddy, bluey colour. Its treuly fascinating. It has the sharp, slyness of red, whilst at the same time being mellow and wavey of the blue. He had infact created purple.

But its all how we as humans percieve things.

No because the colours that we see are just a part of the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation and we can only see waves with a frequency between the frequencies of these

[Firehorse]

A new colour would be mind-boggling. But i'm certain there are shades of colours which we cannot see, even though we can already see millions.

I always thought the colour spectrum stretched outside human view.




I thought wrong i guess.

[CrazyColaist]

i swear spiders see different colours? x

[Twurll]

i was thinking the same the other day, it makes me feel really weird thinking about it, because when you try and think of other colours, you get fustrated, but i think its a unanswerable question lol!
