Could there be other colours?

[Yupt]

I've always wondered, and I thought it impossible, but I want you know your opinions.
Do you think that there are some other colours? Colours that havn't yet been discovered? Because like, obviously we wouldn't be able to think of them until we see them.

although if sound has a frequency too high for our ears to hear, i dont think light has a wavelength frequency too high for our eyes to see, so no, i think that we see all the colours we're able to see. the 'new colours' would probably be a mix of existing colours or could be categorised by an exisiting colour already.

anyway computers could probably mix thousands of variations of colours, so surely they'd have been discovered by now.

ok its almost midnight and now im confused as ****. yeah i kinda think there could be now you say it ;D but like somewhere else in the universe, nowhere near us ;D

Isn't that what colours are anyway? A mixture of the three prime colours; red blue yellow iirc

Indeed. I think we have seen all the colours.

The spectrum would suggest it's impossible I'm guessing.

Colours can't really be discovered as such.

Would be pretty awesome if there were lots of other colours, I always give myself a mass head ache thinking about it.. lolol

There is essentially an infinite number of other colours that we cannot see. Our eyes see a very narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum which we call the visible region. The whole spectrum theoretically expands indefinitely in both directions, although practically there's "only" around a few million billion (a rough guess) other "colours" that we cannot see.

We've seen all the colours that we can. There might be more in the EM spectrum but we will never see them

Sorry but i think you need to find something better to do in your spare time

nah i think all the colours we see are the ones that exist.
