h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It seems to me (though this of course might not be the truth), that whoever painted the outside of the box would have painted it more than one colour, more like a mural or something. So even if they did drop some colour into the box, and even if the did drop some of every colour thet they used, and even if one person found them all(which they could have no way of knowing), they could only specuulate as to what the colours came togather as on the outside. It would be like giving the chords for a Bob Dylan song to someone who had never heard of Bob Dylan(and they do exist, these people) and telling them to tell you the lyrics to the song. Even if you think outside of the box, you can't see outside the box unless you remove yourself from it by death, and then there are probably so many other really great things outside of the box you wouldn't really care about it. And you couldn't tell anybody inside the box about it, so it really wouldn't matter.
If you're colour-blind you really don't need to woory.
Perhaps a religious book(Bible,Karan) has a picture of the box from the painter's view
