do more colors exist beyond the color wheel?

Answer 1

Most color wheels that I've seen have 12 colors on them. How many colors are on a color wheel you're referring to. Anyhow if you use a photo shop software you should have a pretty good idea of the amount of colors you can find. there are thousands of colors between each primary color. (blue, red, yellow) Then you can create another few million by adding different shades of white grey and black. This is how they get earth tone colors and pastel colors.

Answer 2

Yes, not only are there the various other wavelengths of light we cannot see, but there is a rare percentage (about 3% I think) of women (and only women because of the X chromosome ) that can see the difference between more then 100 million colors because of an extra type of color receptor. Pretty sweet!

Answer 3

well there's a whole bunch of different colors wheels that i personally have seen. But i don't think I've seen every single color there is. There's probably a few more hiding somewhere, waiting to be made and turned into whatever.

Answer 4

Can we agree that color is a wavelenth of light energy? if so, then yes. there are colors beyond the wheel. humans can't perceive colors beyond the visible spectrum (the color wheel). light exists in wavelengths above and below the range of our sight. consider ultraviolet and infrared. they are light, but we can't see them.

Answer 5

well since your question is in the philosophical section, there could be more colours that exist beyond the colour wheel. Colour wheel is simply a representation of what our eyes can perceive. Are there colours that are beyond our perception? There could be but we can't simply talk about something that's beyond our perception.

Answer 6

Sorta...

Colors are the representation of different wavelengths of light.

Technically, Infrared is at one end of the spectrum, and Ultraviolet is at the other end...If you continue past Ultraviolet, you'll get into XRay and Gamma Ray wavelengths.

However, since we can't see any of these, it's a little hard to qualify them as colors.

Answer 7

The world really exists in black and white it is the light that is reflected that we see color

Answer 8

Only different shades and combinations and such. Everything in the visible spectrum is every color that can exist for a human.

Answer 9

Certainly!!!

Just as there is a great difference between our understanding of darkness and light....

There is a light so bright that it cannot be seen...... and a darkness so black that it can engulf the existence of all things with life...... and cannot be fathomed......

With these differences at the opposite ends of the spectrum, there must certainly be colors unimaginable....

Answer 10

Yes. I say this because just like how more races are mixing, more colors will be created and given names. Not everything is definite as far as the color wheel anyways.This is a diverse world I've never found a color wheel with every color.
