Who invented color?
What you mean by inventing colors is not clear. Color is part of the natural world. Prehistoric humans did invent the use of natural materials to produce the color pigments they used to create and color paintings and decorated objects. Ochre is a family of pigments made from natural materials found in the earth. Ochres come in several colors including red, yellow, purple and several shades of brown. Different materials can be treated with heat to create a wider spectrum of color.Ochres were used extensively in prehistory to create cave paintings and those early masterpieces can still be seen in all their glory tens of thousands of years later. Early humans invented the materials they used to create those paintings. Deposits of ochres have been found in caves and archeological sites all over the world. Ochres were extensively manufactured and extensively used not only in cave paintings but were also used to decorate bodies, hair, animal skins, the deceased when they were buried, tombs, and other types of painted art apart from the cave paintings.From the prehistoric discovery of ochres to decorate and create art to the high tech pigments used today, every stage of humanity has added new pigments and source materials to create new colors of both paints and dyes.
What are the reasons early people painted in caves?
Well, there are many ideas of why prehistoric humans might have made cave paintings, but nobody real knows why.

Also, the cave paintings weren't only found down were people could reach, but instead very high on ceilings and walls, too. Scientists believe that prehistoric people used scaffolding to reach those places.
