Why Do Blue and Green look Similar While Red Looks Radically Different, In Spite Of Color Spectra?

828 views

I’ve noticed throughout my life that red looks very different from green and blue, but when you look at spectral diagrams, red and green are very similar colors, while blue is quite distinct. Why does red look so unique in spite of the fact that it is similar to green and blue ought to be the one that looks very different?

Red, yellow and blue are primary. Look at a color wheel. Opposite sides of the wheel will look most different. Blue and green are on the same side of the wheel.
