The other "rays" that arnt in the visible spectrum?
(ie x-ray and others)

Yes. We can detect these rays but not actually see them. So basically there are colors that we cannot see. It's almost uncomprehendable to imagine a new color because anything you imagine would simply be a transformation of another color that you have seen before.





On this note, what if an experiment was conducted. This is something that I've always wanted to do (although it would be cruel in a way):

1) Take a newborn baby into a monochromatic environment (skin color) before they seen any other color.
2) Place no mirrors in the environment and make EVERYTHING skin color or other colors perceptible on the body.
(color the food/only serve certain food, furniture, etc.)
3) Make the person live in a monochromatic world for 10-15 years.
4) One day, blindfold the subject and walk them outside. Rip off their blindfold and observe their reaction.

OR

1) Make somebody wear some sort of ocular device that filtered colors into black/white and do the same thing.

Anyways, before revealing the colors to this person, ask them to imagine colors that they haven't seen (but we have). Maybe their guesses would enlighten people as to what to imagine for imperceptible colors. Color blind people aren't as good because most of them do see the majority of the colors. Spoonman, I have pondered the thought of a new color many times, often randomly, and was thinking of posting the idea before I read your response.
