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

830 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?

Blue and green are next to each other on the rainbow. Red is one extreme of the rainbow. Green and blue are closer in frequency. The order is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, etc. So red looks like orange the most, while green and blue look alike.
