Is it just a coincidence that the color spectrum “loops” around?

May have worded this poorly, but when you look at the color spectrum, it appears (to me, my thinking may be flawed) to be the primary colors red, yellow, and blue and their intermediates. Red to yellow with orange in the middle, yellow to blue with green in the middle, and blue to what would be red, with purple in the middle. Except there is no red at the end of the natural spectrum, just at the beginning. So is it just a nice coincidence that it wraps around perfectly?

we get colorblind people like my friend at work who is red/green blind, they mix into each other. is their anyway to perfectly show someone sees colors differently but perfectly? so no color mixing they see red as blue but every ‘mix’ works as if it was correct?

its hard to explain. but is there a constant thats always 100% other than white or black to gauge it by?
