What do you mean “hasn’t been produced before”? That comes with a huge burden of proof.

Sure. But, again, that’s not a question of creativity, just an exhaustive exercise of proving uniqueness.

It isn’t a new color by any meaningful definition.

Because color isn’t an invented concept, it is a perceived wavelength value/range. Asking for a “new color” is like asking for a “new number”.

Under your broader definition of color, we’ve already found the three or seven or I guess nine if you want to count black/white, existing colors. The only way to “invent” new colors is to expand the spectrum by which humans perceive light.

Understanding how light works and how one might accomplish this takes creativity. But if we’re excluding ultraviolet or infrared because they’re outside the natural visual spectrum, all we can creatively accomplish is proving we’ve exhausted the range of available colors.
