Newton didn't know the speed of light, or that light itself is one skinny band
of wavelengths in a much larger electromagnetic spectrum. He didn't know
the distance to stars compared to planets, or about galaxies and the spaces
between them. I'm pretty sure he never saw the spectrum of light from any star
other than the sun, and he certainly didn't know about the shift of features in
the spectrum of distant stars and galaxies. He never heard that distant stars and
galaxies are all receding from us at enormous speeds. And, his gravitation
seemed to predict the real observed motions of the planets exactly. It didn't, but
the difference is so small that it couldn't be measured or even noticed in his time.
In other words, Newton never confronted any of the questions that caused
Einstein to ponder, and led him to propose the theories of Relativity.

Who is the founder of the law of gravity?
The current theory of gravity, General Relativity, was developed by Albert Einstein between 1905 and 1915. Before that the most advanced model was Newtonian gravity, developed by Isaac Newton. Of course Einstein's model is identical to Newton's in the low mass limit.
When did Isaac Newton discover the spectrum?
He started working on it in 1660
