If we could see the whole spectrum of light?

Would we interpret all of it as separate colors also?
What would it be like?

I would think, yes, if we could see the whole spectrum, that would include being able to interpret all of it as separate colors. What would it be like? hmmm.... colorful? like a kaleidoscope? I'd like to try it out.

I assume you mean the entire electro-magnetic spectrum. It would likely be processed in our brains as color and intesity variations. The problem comes in when you look at things in the IR which also reflect with a visible light range color. How will we see both similtaniously. You might imagine the object as having a Matte-Glossy finish depending on IR emmision. It could get tricky. What about viewing a red radio antenna in the hot sun. Color -Radio - IR - UV - some trace Gamma. Just fun isn't it.

It would probably be new colours that we can't even see now. Some animals can see different variations of light that we can't see.
