This may seem a little odd but have you guys ever thought there may be more colors on Earth?
For example, what if you were mining pretty far underground and you came across a new mineral or rock that had a new color that no one has ever seen?
I also thought to myself, if we looked at it, would we have a seizure?
I know that sounds weird but that's the first thing I thought of, if I saw a new color.
Also, we haven't even came close to fully exploring the ocean. For all we know, there could be a plant or creature that has a different color, other than what is on the spectrum.
This is just an idea and weird things I think of...
Thanks for reading!

We only see three colors, red, green, and blue. So its impossible for us to see any new colors.
But the mantis shrimp can see 16 so I wonder how the world is for the mantis shrimp.

Everyone has tried to make a new colour haha but it's impossible, I wonder how our brain would react if we saw one though?

Well this isn't possible, our brain makes our eyes see stuff colorful. If somehow you could be taken out of your body and see the world without eyes or a brain, you would see no colors. When you look through your eyes, the image is upside down and has no color, your brain uses light to make the color and flips the image right side up.

Its possible that this could be the case, but I don't think that they would appear as "color" to us.

The reason I believe this is because we can only see a certain section of the color spectrum, which are the colors that we already know about.

Unless you can see light with wave lengths, different from a normal human eye thewre will never be any new colours, all colours available (apart from white and black, but really they are tones not colours) exist in the rainbow.

so the spectrum of light, and hence all the possible colours on earth, has already been discovered. and there is absolutely no way another colour can be discovered...


but good try
