Lecture 21: Color 1 (38)

Does this imply that we cannot actually replicate our perception of wavelengths ~430 - 540 nm using these three RGB wavelengths? "Negative" amounts of light don't actually exist, they would just be changing the color trying to be replicated. Can our computer screens reliably reproduce our perception of these wavelengths?

@ethanbuttimer, yes, sRGB (the usual color space on computers) cannot replicate all physical colors because they would require a negative color coordinate from R, G, or B.
