Re: If There Was Absolutely No Light in the World, Would You Be Able to See Colors?
whose to say the light you experience in dreams and hallucinations differ, a wave is wave on a wave on a wave. all light is light, and all illusion is a product of nothingness, in my opinion it stands to say an illusion is not light optical or otherwise, more a manifestion of confusion induced by the inconceivable, that which falls outside of the certainty of nature. a hallucination however is light.
for the thread, the answer is no

No light at all means you can't see at all
I don't understand

A better question is how accurately would you be able to imagine colors, which is in essence the knowledge argument, argued by the Mary's room thought experiment :
Imagine a neuroscientist who has only ever seen black and white things, but she is an expert in color vision and knows everything about its physics and biology. If, one day, she sees color, does she learn anything new? Is there anything about perceiving color that wasn’t captured in her knowledge? Eleanor Nelsen explains what this thought experiment can teach us about experience.
It also relates, as Elena- hints, to dreams, and especially ones of blind individuals and their perceptive qualities, which effectively vary upon the nature of their illness, but not exclusively.

If there was no light suddenly, then we could still see colors, but there are no colors to see. If light never existed we wouldn't have eyes that see light so we wouldnt see color. We might get a seperate sense that lets us "see" that we might interperate as color. Also black is a color.
Re: If There Was Absolutely No Light in the World, Would You Be Able to See Colors?
Saying there is no light means that there exists no electromagnetic wave in the frequency spectrum of well.. light. Colors are just names for sections of that spectrum, therefore they necessarily wouldn't exist (with our definition of colors and light). No matter if you're talking about dreams or whatever (I assume that meant the electrical activity of the brain, otherwise idk what that meant), it doesn't change the above fact.
Re: If There Was Absolutely No Light in the World, Would You Be Able to See Colors?
color is defined as the wavelengths of light that aren't absorbed by an object, so no light = no color. I suppose an object can still have the properties of being a color without light touching it, but we wouldn't be able to detect it with our eyes.

like if there was no light at all would blue walls still be blue if they weren't illuminated by any light?
They would have the property that "Electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum would mostly be absorbed by the wall except for some blues". If that's what makes a wall blue to you, it'd still be blue.
