Considering that what we humans see of the electromagnetic spectrum is less than !.01% of the spectrum, yes!. If you can find eyes that see microwaves, gamma rays, X-rays, or radio waves, I'm sure that there would be something totally new!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

'color' is only the frequencies our eyes can detect and our brain can decipher!. As we move either further up the frequencies or down the frequencies, what our current brain can decipher remains the same!. We see darker violets or darker reds until our eyes can no longer detect them!. Too see a totally new color would require a different brain and set of eyes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the colours of the rainbow are the only colours that exist!. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet!. White light is the light we see every day and contains all the colors of the rainbow!.
When white light passes through a prism which refracts light, each colour of light bends at a different speed!.
When this happens the colors become spread out enough
that we can see a rainbow!. Violet light is bent the most and red is bent the least!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wonder what it would look like!? It would probably have to be from outer space because we have used all the color elements here!. I suppose if there was a chemical present somewhere else that is not here on earth, that possibly could create a color no one has ever seen!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The way we see color is a function of our minds as well as our bodies!. There are many wave lengths of light above and below those we are physically capable of observing, therefore we have no visual analogy for these 'colors!.' They exist even though we aren't there to see them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's possible but wouldn't be relevant!. If we have no ability to perceive it and no ablility to create a device that would enable us to perceive it then it would be of no consequence to us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The colors we can see are the only ones we are capable of seeing!. So beyond that spectrum, there certainly could be a different perception of colors for someone/something who can see more frequencies than we can!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are lots of colors humans haven't seen - they aren't in our visual spectrum; I've read and heard on Discovery that some birds can see LOTS of colors we can't - I have NO IDEA how scientists know that, though! hahaWww@QuestionHome@Com

There are plenty of colors no one has seen before!. We see only a small fraction of the spectrum!. There are also sounds that no one has ever heard for much the same reason!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Anything is possible I guess!.!.!.the universe is infinite! I bet you a Starlight Mystical Sprinkle color exsists LOL!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Impossible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Then, chances are good, that no one has ever seen it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would paint my paint my mind with that colour and start afresh!. Regards!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
