Question 23

Hi folks.

I will keep this one short, Do you think there will ever be a new colour to invent, like no other existing one?

You can't invent a colour. The specific shading existed prior to your knowledge, all you would be doing is giving it a name.
In short:
Invent a new colour - no
Name a 'new' colour - yes

One day we may well have new colours and it will happen when we are given new eyes. Our eyes at the moment only see within a certain part of the colour spectrum, we can extend the range by using special bulbs or cameras to see infra red and ultraviolet but if we wish to see beyond this range then we will need new eyes. Everyone’s vision is slightly different of course; I for instance have large pupils, which means I have light sensitive eyes. I see extremely well in the dark but am dazzled by bright sunlight on a summer’s day unless I am wearing sun glasses.
If we ever move out into space and colonise other worlds we may need to adjust our bodies by genetic manipulation to make them more suitable for those worlds and one of the things we might wish to alter is the spectrum that our eyes see in.

I belive in supernatural stuff like ghosts, orbs and so on. What we call ghost is a living creature but alive in another dimension real close to ours so that's why some people can perceive their presence. I'm sure that those "creature" living in other dimensions are seeing different colors than we do in our dimension.

I don't think anyone will ever 'invent' a new colour, but through evolution our eyes could develop, allowing us to view objects in different spectrum's of light than we do now. This would effectively produce new shades we haven't seen before. Example: Predators Helmet

You can't invent a color, there is only discovering a new color. I don't think it's possible to invent something that occurs in nature.

I would make an attempt to defend my intellect here but my lacerated hand and throbbing foot are an ever present reminder that I am in fact, an idiot. A sexy idiot though, and I’m actually alright with just being man candy.lol
