Have you ever sat there and tried to think of what a new color might look like? that is like impossible! i did that today and i was like "wow..this **** is hard!" i dont think its possible to do that.
 
Hmm new color....Hard one, I would say blackoblueish lol, mixup of black and blue..dunno..

Dark blue? :p

well i'm pretty sure evry color by now has been given a name and really you can't make up a new color. All colors just a combo of red, blue and yellow.

White? Technically its not a colour its an absense of one, like black is an excess. But you still need to use white to get light colours, and id presume black to get the darker colours.

Ohh and the word is colours, not color, you retarded Americans.
 
simple! even though all colors make up the other colors they don't have a name their given by people!

So I can say this :Darkbarfishblueaquacyanibrown: And that would be One color there you go, it's a new color!
it's like naming a new word or species, people give them their name once they discovered them...every color has a basic name yea, but nothing like what I just said
 
Actually its impossible to get a new color because if you think about it every color has a code assigned to it which is calculated by a script or computer or whatever the hell they have. Google "HTML Color Codes" if you have no clue what I'm talking about.

For example a shade of gray is #848484 and black is #000000 and white is #FFFFFF, so pretty much... Every color has been thought up. You cant change the hue or saturation by anything to get a new color.:wink_1:
 
Some people think like a white page doesn't have any color on it, Untrue.
On a blank page it's all white, some idiots don't relize that.

All colors are taken btw, if they have a name or not, everyone has seen every color, All the mixes has been made and there are alot of them.
 
actually that's wrong, sort of, maybe... there are some colors the human eye cant see, (well light anyway) but light does have a color, and if we cant see it, we cant name it. o_0

True some colours are unseen, but they still have a name. Never heard of ultraviolet and infra-red?

Its a weird question really, i presume there are infact an infinite number of colours but at some point we just cant tell the difference.

Like Lithic said, there are computer colour charts. I bet most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between adjacent colours.

Coday, white is not a colour it is an absence of colours. You see colours when some frequencies are absorbed and the rest are reflected. (or some are emitted if you want to talk about screens) If the colour is white however all spectra are reflected/emitted. If the colour is black nothing is reflected. Nothing however is truly black (cept maybe black holes) because they do reflect enough light to tell they are there. For LCD monitors this is called the contrast ratio :)

Ultraviolet and Infrared are different types of light, not colors.
They all fall into that whole stupid color spectrum (I didn't pay attention in science so if I'm wrong screw you... =] )
Its like...
| Radio Waves | Infrared | Visible Rays | Ultra Violet Rays | X-Rays | Gamma Rays |
I'm prolly wrong on that somewhere but basically its good enough =]

Btw...
Radio Waves, are for our radios, walky talkies, cell phones... blah blah.
Infrared is visible by special goggles, its the military's new night vision technique.
Visible rays is the color spectrum we see.
UV is used for tanning, should know that.
X-Rays are used to take pictures of bone.
Gamma Rays are pretty much a bolt of nuclear energy that can cause some serious damage to whatever it strikes.
