It would look like a new color..!

This is a tricky question, because while all of the colors are known to science, that doesn't mean that they're all in regular use all the time. Hence the existence of patented color formulations, like international Klein blue. This colored paint, with particles suspended in clear resin, has a certain luminosity, etc. that cant' be described by one individual color when perceived in 3 dimensions. Who knows what the next "color" discovered would look like, perhaps you'll discover it and show us all. Again, this wouldn't be just a new color, but a formulation that when you apply it to a surface, yields certain characteristics beyond just "blue" or "red", we have all the flat shades you could want, as I attempted to explain above.

It would have to exist in a different universe than we know, because all colors based on light are known. Colors that are shimmering or luminous can still be described based on optics as we know it, just as some people try to explain jello as partly liquid and partly solid. Jello still exists and can be described in chemically and physically. Metallics and opalescent colors are examples that do not fit within the pigment oriented color theories (based on primaries and gray scale), but exist in an optical world based on white light. If we use physics as an example, the next "color" would involve additional dimensions, such as time or electromagnetic energies. The next "color" might be something that you "sense" rather than see. Perhaps there would be a color world for the blind. How cool would that be!

All of the colors in the color spectrum are already "discovered". There is no possible way that any more colors could be created.

You're basically talking about evolution. It seems that all the colors available to the eye are in the visible spectrum of light located between Ultra-violet and infra-red. We may be able to see in those other spectrums some day, but don't hold your breath.

Of course there could be a new color. We only use a fraction of the grey matter of our brains. It really is quite likely that as we evolve, so do our perceptions of our surroundings. Therefore the new color (as I see it) is called plush. Its primary form is deep and rich. Add white, plush becomes almost luminous. I think I'll paint one of my walls a light plush.

its not possible, all the colours that are visible to the human eye are a mixture of 2 or more colours that will be made up of the primary colours, Yellow, Red, Blue. with a mixture of the 2 shades, Black and White, and the way our eyes percieve these colours is by light being reflected or absorbed by the base colours, hope that helped, didnt make much sense. sorry!

All colors have been discovered, at least all visible colors.

The possibilities are just about endless. It would probable look like some combination of cym. Or possible rgb maybe even red yellow, blue. Who knows COLOR THEORY WAS SOOOOOOOOO CONFUSING!

I think it would be a hologram colour. You know when you look at shiny holograms and there is this 3-d, silver shiny effect, along with the rainbowy effect. That new colour would be in there ... the unseen shining colour of the rainbow.
