Are there certain colors that are very difficult to represent fully with RGB? Do the different types of monitors play a role in this? Like some monitors have clearer and crisper colors - but others less so. Is this because of resolution differences or possible color depicting differences?

The technologies used for specific monitors affects what subset of colors it can reproduce (the "gamut"). For example, a brighter backlight will widen representation, as will different panel technologies like IPS or TN. I found this article really helpful in explaining color gamut, and there are many great sources online that explain the latest advances in this area.

Following off of @philippe-eecs, if we are able to choose specific RGB values to display on screen to match the real life appearance, why is it that the same values may vary on different screens? This is a problem faced when taking product photos, for example
