Is it possible to come up with a new color?
It’s not likely: we don’t discover colors, just like we can’t discover a new temperature. Color and temperature are of the same nature – radiation, emission, caused by the light, except the color is a visual phenomenon.
Is it possible to think of a color that does not exist?
Originally Answered: Is it possible to imagine a color that does not exist? Yes, an endless number of new (but currently non-existent) colors can be imagined. As many answers note, all colors only exist in the brain, and some colors we perceive are NOT directly related to a specific range of light waves.

Is black a real color?
Black is the absence of light. Some consider white to be a color, because white light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. And many do consider black to be a color, because you combine other pigments to create it on paper. But in a technical sense, black and white are not colors, they’re shades.
What is the rarest Colour?
Vantablack is known as the darkest man made pigment. The color, which absorbs almost 100 percent of visible light, was invented by Surrey Nanosystems for space exploration purposes. The special production process and unavailability of vantablack to the general public makes it the rarest color ever.

Does purple really exist?
The colour purple does not exist in the real world. We perceive colour thanks to three different types of colour receptor cells, or cones, in our eyes. Each type of cone is sensitive to a range of colours but one is most excited by red light, one by green and one blue.
Which colors human eye Cannot see?
Red-green and yellow-blue are the so-called “forbidden colors.” Composed of pairs of hues whose light frequencies automatically cancel each other out in the human eye, they’re supposed to be impossible to see simultaneously. The limitation results from the way we perceive color in the first place.
Is it possible to imagine colors we don’t see?
Yes, you can imagine new “colors”, and there are physically meaningful complex colors that humans don’t really see. We see with our eyes, and those signals go back to our brains. We ascribe “color” to things that we see as colors are common patterns worth noting and exploiting, e.g. for communication.
Do people invent new color experiences?
So, it remains possible that people may invent new contexts that produce new color experiences. For example, viewing a certain arrangement of colors for a time, and then viewing a chip of material surrounded by just the right other stuff, could produce a color one has never seen before.
Are there more colors than we see?
P.S.: There are more colors than we see, aren’t there? The answer is controversial. Hume, 18th century British philosopher, famously argued that such a possibility is conceivable, that if we are presented with a spectrum of color where some intermediate shade is missing we will be able to imagine the missing shade, even if we never saw it before.
Are there new colors waiting to be discovered in the future?
Thus, there is really nothing new under the sun that our visual systems can perceive and that we haven’t already perceived, although attention might have been lacking. Therefore, there are no new colors waiting to be discovered for us to perceive in the future.
