Would it be possible to change our color frequency as if we were radio waves? i understand the spectrum im just asking but could different color frequecys be kinda similar to different radio stations

yes.
in fact, fiber optic communication links are re-used by sending data over varionus frequencies (colors) of light.

Different colours ARE different frequencies of light. You could capture an image at a certain frequency and then display it at a different frequency; the colour would have changed. But if you try to shift the frequencies of a picture like that, some visible frequencies will be moved outside the visible spectrum.
Infrared [nightvision] glasses do this... they shift the infrared frequencies into the visible range so that we can see them. X-ray machines do the same thing with the x-ray frequencies.

Radio waves, visible light, microwaves, x-rays, UV, infrared, are all Electromagnetic radiation. Each just has a different frequency.

They are energy frequencies, just in a different range, so yes.

Hi. That is just how fluorescent paint works. (Not glow in the dark, but International Orange, for instance.) The ultraviolet gets absorbed and re-emitted at a lower frequency
