Your appearance as a spirit

[zareste]

What do you look like as a spirit?  Your color, your structure, material?  Are you cloudy, solid, or translucent?  If translucent, can you see anything under your skin?  Are you red? Blue? Black? Or some other color outside the normal spectrum?

Furthermore, how do things look from a spirit's perspective?  Brighter? More precise?  More blue or more red?  More or less color?  I'm trying to figure out how a spirit works and it'd be great to have input from different people.

As a spirit I don't know, but your astral body is very alike to the physical one, but it can change into virtually anything, and take any shape, size, color...

From my own experience and from what I've read. You look how you expect to look, or on a more base level, what your own unconsious perception of yourself is. As we are human right now, more often than not our appearance is human, and generally of the sex we were before death.
As to a spirits perspective, we must first understand that colour is a very very narrow range of electomagnetic radiation. We percieve colours and sight as we do, not because of inhernet properties of this radiation, but because our brain has evolved to percieve it so.
In spirit we have no eyes, or no brain, so I guess our expectation of learnt sight utilises whatever information is availible for perception and interprets it in a way we know (sight, sound, touch, taste). Expectations can effect this (so things might be different colours, or brighter, duller etc).

An art teacher who knew the spectrum well said he left the body in an NDE and identified about 20 new primary colors, though, this took place in one of the spirit cities, which exist at the edge of the atmosphere where high-level radiation isn't as scarce as it is down here.

I remember leaving my body for a few moments and everything was cloudy.  I guess the annoyance of seeing a wider spectrum is that certain gasses aren't invisible anymore.

I was always wondering what a colorthat didnt exist here could look like...

But I think a human brain can't handle that.
