Well now, that depends on what you mean by “light.” Usually — colloquially, and even to an astronomer if they’re not too pedantic — when you just say “light” you mean “visible light,” the kind of light we see. But from blue to red is a very narrow slice of a much larger spectrum of light, literally called the electromagnetic spectrum. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. What we think of as colors are really just different wavelengths (or energies) of light, and that goes well beyond what our eyes are sensitive to.
