Also a cool thing about imaginination, is you don't have to stick to or define all the parameters to imagine it. You can go like, I'm imagining in this imaginary senario I've figured that part out, and just run with it.

True, but when we say we can't imagine something, we don't mean a mental construct that we don't think through, we mean something tangible. In case of color, it means actually visualizing it mentally, not imagining there could be something.
