The space of visible colors is three-dimensional, and the spectrum is missing two dimensions (brightness and saturation). You canβt assign a percentage to that.
Well there is wavelength and intensity, an all together it is called a spectrum. No need for a third parameter.
Also there are mor than 100% of all colors in there, as a quick check on Wikipedia would reveal..
He communicates how my brain comprehends. I watched so much of his content one time realizing my whole day was gone. I thought only an hour or two went by
I'd recommend reiterating why fushia isn't there. I rewound the video to find the relevant part again (not hard in a <5 minute video) but, imo, restating the cause and effect after separately stating the cause and then effect would help drive home the message. This way, you can actually apply the cause to the now-known effect. Maybe that's just me.
Our eye perceives color as a mix of red, green, blue. The lowest color of the rainbow is red (hue 0 degrees on a color wheel) but our red cones have another sensitivity just above blue, so the rainbow shows as violet (hue 270 degrees) when both blue and red cones are triggered. But here, blue is triggered more than red. Then the rainbow extends into the ultraviolet which doesn't trigger any of our receptors. But the color wheel still has another 90 degrees or so of hue where red gets stronger and blue is weaker. These are not pure spectral colors, because they must activate both red and blue cones at different frequencies, not just a single frequency like violet does.
I feel you, I am also one of those poor bastards constantly being corrected about what color something is, however that doesn't mean they're missing, they're just hiding from us.
My partner is tetrachromatic so I see way less colours than them. Apparently. Maybe it's all a big joke by paint companies and only a couple of colours exist.
