That doesnt mean mixing colors together, i mean a new color, that you cant get by mixing other colors.

yes i believe so in the future. we may also produce a new colour if we invent something which allows more light to pass through our eyes, but this may be dangerous.

Colors are not "made," they are are selected from the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum known as "visible light." Properties of any material (paint, ink) can be combined in such a way so as to reflect visible light, so that you can "make" red paint for example. In other words, the colors are "just there," in nature. The other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are sound, radio, x-rays; that is to say, all the various wave forms of energy, some of which can be observed by unaided human sensory organs - and some not.
Put another way, while you might possibly "discover" a color no one else has yet observed, that color could be reproduced by "mixing" other colors -there is none that can't be produced this way.
This article is a reasonable explanation of what's going on:

I hope this helps.

I don't think it's possible to create a new color seeing as it would have already existed. I feel there are colors that we cannot yet see due to our current position in our evolution. We have many millions of years left to evolve and each new step would unlock newer powers in our bodies, probably being able to one day view the invisible forces that make life possible. Also we can only see 7 colors of the spectrum, who is to say that there isn't more colors that we cannot see? Also the spectrum is based on our sun and our atmosphere, I would imagine that other suns and atmospheres create different colors....Hope this kind of cleared this up for you. Interesting question. One of the few that has never crossed my mind, thank you for adding one more unanswerable question to my already philosophical brain.

It may be possible to make a new color but the issue is that the human eye can only see a limited spectrum so you may not recognize the color if you do make it.

Fraid not. Our eyes have 3 different kinds of receptors for color, each most sensitive to a different color--red, green, and blue. That's why monitors can work with only 3 colors: all the colors we can see can be reproduced by mixing these three in different proportions, because we only have the 3 kinds of sensors to stimulate.
Keep in mind that paints are a different story, because they involve the absorption of colors. There are still 3 colors--cyan, magenta, and yellow--which is why printers can work with just the 3 colors.

All the possible colors are in the spectrum. Maybe if we can define the divisions of the spectrum much more finer we can "create" new colors. But honestly I think doing so will only divide colors that makes little difference from each other

I have often wondered the same question and I do believe that at some point people will find a way to do so.

No, it's not possible. There are only 7 colors in the spectrum (I think they teach this in the 6th grade. Pay more attention in school.)

oh i am most def sure there is a possibility...most of which have prob have been made before by someone else, but have not yet named it... there are millions and millions of ppl out there who create mixtures of colors all the time...it is probably endless...you just have to be the one to step up, and make it known...

Nope, the entire spectrum already exists. Sorry
