Considering a possibility of colors outside this world existing...

[LND]

I strongly believe that there are infinite colors out there, outside this world, ones we have never seen. some other people believe this too, so i was thinking, if that's true, do you think there are infinite shades out there too? like white and black, gray being a mix of them both...

i think well *maybe* but, aren't black and white the 2 sides of the color spectrum? sorry if i used wrong wording but i think you got the idea.

black is the darkest, white is the lightest, think beyond this world there could be another "white-like" shade and "black-like" shade(s)?

opinions?

Colour is simply light of a differing wavelengths... at least that's what science tells us.

Black is the absence of light.
White is the presence of light.

Between those two poles... one could say is an infinite spectrum of colours. 

Then between those two poles is light we can not see with our human eyes.
Wavelengths could even extend beyond that!  How far beyond?  We probably don't know yet.
So yeah, how deep does the rabbit hole go?

What we call 'light' is a visable spectrum of energy.  We call it that because our body is made in such a way to perceive those rates of vibrational energy.  What we call light is a band of energy.  When light hits an object SOME of the energy is reflected off that object and THAT is what we see.   The rest of the energy is absorbed or passes through the object.

You have heard of infra-red which is used to as a heat lamp and ultraviolet which is used in tanning salons?

There are higher and lower wave lengths of this energy. 

The human eye does not register above or below a certain level. 

The funny thing is we really 'see' with our brain.  The eyes are the receptors and the brain does the seeing.   

By the way.  The Color White reflects all visible light, the Color Black absorbs all visible light. 

Black is not the absence of light but the absence of  anything visibly detectable to reflect the light that is there. 

We say that the 'Sky is Blue'.      Grass is green.   We are taught to use these phrases instead of being taught to say, I see the green light reflected off  the grass.    I guess that languages are metaphors for thought and experiences in which we have a commonality of experience.
