The minimum number of colors needed to color a map such that no two adjacent regions share the same color is determined by the Four Color Theorem. According to this theorem, only four colors are necessary to achieve this for any planar map. Therefore, the minimum number of colors required is four.

How many colors would be needed to color a map of US states without any state touching the same colors?

You can color ANY map on a flat surface, or on a sphere, using only four colors. With the large number of states which the United States has (48 in continental United States), I strongly suspect that you can't do it with less than that.


How many different colors are there in light and what are they?

That's like asking "How many different lengths are there on a ruler, and what are they ?" There are an infinite number of colors in light. Conceptually, every different wavelength/frequency is a different "color", although your eye may not have the resolution required to separate two colors if their wavelengths are too close together. Whatever two wavelengths you name in the visible range, no matter how close together they are, I can always name another wavelength ... or a million of them ... that fit in between your two. The number of colors there are in light is equal to the number of colors that school kids name in the rainbow, plus the number of paint colors that Sherwin- Williams can mix for you, plus the number of fabric, drapery, and carpet swatches there ever were, plus another infinite number more in addition to those.
