Colour is simply a wavelength of light. Our eyes and occipital lobe (part of the brain that processes visual information) can physically only perceive a certain range of wavelengths. There ARE other colours, infrared, ultraviolet and beyond but humans physically can't ever see them without being aided by technology (which will simply translate them into colours within our visual range). Doesn't matter where you go in the entire universe, you will only ever see exactly the same colours you see here on earth.
Tl;Dr go on photoshop's "colour picker" and you have access to every colour that any human will ever see.
