The top number is probably infinity, but it feels nice to have an actual number, however extreme, however arbitrary, to define the edges of what there is of anything in the universe. A computer displays under 17 million colors, of which we can see maybe 10 million, but a conservative estimate of how many colors there actually are puts it at 18 decillion. If you are interested in how many colors we can see or the number of colors that exist, you’re gonna need a bigger palette.
Color has played a major role in the development of homo sapiens, giving us more tools for making the best survival decisions. And, while B&W still holds a respected place in the visual arts, particularly in photography, film, and drawing, it is color that holds the broadest appeal, which should not be surprising. The cinematic and TV worlds were both certainly B&W for a long time, before color imposed itself on screens large and small.
Monochromatics see only the gray scale from black to white. Many creatures have dichromatic vision, (two kinds of cone receptors), which allows limited color perception.
