I know that comparing the gender spectrum to the colour spectrum isn’t an original idea but I just wanted to expand on it a bit. Feel free to add to anything or suggest changes or improvements.
Non-xenogenders are like the visible rgb colour spectrum. Feminine genders may be on one side of the spectrum in terms of hue and masculine genders may be on the other side of the spectrum. Non-binary/neutral genders may be somewhere in between.
The brightness or darkness of a colour could represent the gender’s “intensity”. Black may be like agender and darker colours may be similar to demigenders or libragenders. Over 100% genders like hypergenders, intensigenders or surgenders would be similar to a glowing colour. Multigenders may be similar to lighter colours as white in the rgb colour space is made up of 255 of red, green and blue with pangender being white.
Fluid genders would be changing in their hue and perhaps other aspects depending on the type of fluidity and fluctuating genders would be changing in their brightness or darkness.
Genders that are described as being somewhere outside of the spectrum would be similar to colours that exist in real life but can’t be displayed properly in the rgb colour space. Genders relating to a sense of self may be best described as how everyone’s perception of colour is slightly different compared to everyone else and that person’s gender is like a colour only they can see.
Permanently undiscovered genders or genders that feel permanently undiscovered may be described as having a type of colourblindness. Genders that feel impossible to categorise may be similar to impossible colours.
Xenogenders may be like the rest of the colour spectrum outside of the visible colour spectrum with closer non-visible parts of the spectrum like infrared or ultraviolet being similar to xenogenders that may be related to “typical” gendered genders.
Genders that are yet to be coined are like colours that are yet to be named.
i really like this idea- although maybe instead of being on exact opposites of the spectrum, feminine could be red and masculine could be blue? magenta + purple could be androgynous genders (with more magenta being more feminine, more purple being more masculine, etc). oranges, yellows, greens, and cyans could be neutral genders, with orange (especially red-orange) being more feminine, and cyan (especially more sky blue-ish cyan) being more masculine, and yellows + greens being neutral (with yellow-green being self-contained genders that are entirely unrelated to masculinity or femininity while not being xenic, like outherine or aporine)
i really like the idea of xenogenders being non-visible colors - they could also be impossible colors, stuff like stygian blue or hyperbolic green! stuff thats impossible colors that are connected to colors we can see could be xenogenders that are connected to non-xenogenders (so like, stygian blue could be xenic + masculine, self-luminous red could be xenic + feminine, etc) meanwhile things like x-rays or radio waves would be entirely xenic and unrelated to typical genders
i made this to hopefully explain what im talking about lol
f is feminine, n is neutral, o is outherine, m is masculine, a is androgynous
and more saturated + bright colors would be closer to 100% that gender, darker colors would be closer to agender (not neutral, just a lack of gender), less saturated colors would be gender apathy/closer to cassgender (not a lack of gender, just not caring about your gender)

Very interesting. I can help you out if you want to expand nore, I love to work with colours. The video of Kuvina can be very helpful
