So I’ve been seeing a lot about these colors that aren’t supposed to exist apparently? Like magenta, stygian blue, etc and I kind of get what’s going on but also kind of don’t? I’ve seen explainations of this on the internet before but never fully understood, so if anyones able to help with that I’d appreciate it. Don’t want a watered down explaination (I like technical stuff), just a more understandable and approachabe one

The way Eyes are explained is usually over simplifed. Where you have red,green and blue cones and you detect each like a camera sensor.
turns out that isn’t real, and sometimes two colors will have the same wavelength or we see an assumed color based on a wavelength NOT hitting a cone or we have colors precived as one color but activating the “wrong” cone. Because actually vision is a bunch of messy biological goop.
