No... you cant make another colour because every colour you could ever try making will be a shade of a colour that already exists. and there is already enough numbers to go on forever, so no.

That is a good question and the answer would have to depend on the function.
I don't think that we could invent a new colour (I spell it colour because I'm Canadian) because the colours we have are visible to each of us (without any visual impairment). They are all found in the visual spectrum of visible light. Any one colour is in fact the absence of that particular colour as the colour we see is the light being reflected from the object we are looking at. In the absence of all colour we see black and with all colour we see white. There is the invisible light spectrum of light UV/IR but we cannot see in these ranges because of the way our eyes are designed. So any new colour would have to come from a change in our biology.
In ancient Rome there was no 0 (zero). It wasn't until an Indian (India) invented the Zero that there was a number for nothing. That was the function of Zero (0) it meant nothing - literally. Before the "0" you could write that you had some or owed some but could not write that you had nothing. So, depending on the function of the #, I think that yes you could invent a new number.

Not really, in a sense... no matter how high you count, you only use what you have, and the numerla system... so numbers are pretty exact things.. and that infinnity thing is opened for any debate... but if you were to name another number yeah, maybe if you reach a number that nas no name yet....
As far as color, again you can name one that has never been named, but within our hue there's only so much you can work with... colors are about the light, so in whichever way you adjust that there's your color... It's never ending, but all you can do in nomenclature, cuz the hue is already there.

I think you can invent a new color just be giving it a name for a shade that never had a name. But you didnt really invent it, it was always there.

Yes you can make a number- an outline of a number and color it in. Each day you can make a new number and color it in a new color. So,...if you're less than 2 years old... each day for a looooong time you will learn a new number and new color!

You can not invent a new number or color, but you can create a new color that no one has seen before by mixing different amounts of different colored lights (or pigments, depending on your taste).

I dont think you can create a new number....if you can then im not sure how that would work..but colors you can because all the marker companies do and the stayola company...it wouldnt be hard to create a color...like mango green...or tropical blue....firey green...I dont know....you could do a lot though
