two sentences may be tautologically true (if you're asserting that "color" is a human construct), but it's also useless. Now I titled my email "Imaginary colors Speculation" What I am saying
is that there is no colors that we don't see (as a group). That there is no new
color you can get by other means. When bats view sound waves if they see
this as color it is of our spectrum but I suspect there brain senses sound waves
as some sort of pattern.
There is no point in searching for other colors.

that x-rays are somehow fuzzy, whereas actually they're more
precise than visible light As to regard to X-rays; that is my point, they appear fuzzy to us visually
but are more precise in the scientific study than we see. Animal may sense
x-rays better than us but it in no way creates new color. But as you point out
there is no proof since we can't go into the animal brains and see what it sees.
It just the speculation I believe and there is no use in looking for more
colors.
