There are no other colors except for the ones we see. The other part of electromagnetic spectrum are just wave lengths. Any other animal that can sense the other parts of the spectrum can only see them in colors we know to exist but most probably sense them in different way altogether. When we develop x-ray film it is black and white(i.e. clear) and fuzzy.

On the other hand, what we see is just a tiny part of the

flowers!
Medical images routinely map normal colours to structures visible only
at wavelengths we could not interpret otherwise.
Does it make sense to invent words for hues that we can't actually see
and share with others?
