This visual actually helped me realize how we named ultraviolet and infrared: since infrared has a wavelength beyond the red end of the visible spectrum, it appears reddish to us. Similarly, ultraviolet appears violet due to being beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum. Despite being the shortest segment of the electromagnetic spectrum, we’re able to decompose the visible spectrum into a few distinct colors based on wavelength. I wonder if we could do the same for these spectra, or if they would appear as one shade irregardless due to limitations in how we perceive light.

What benefits/cons are there to restricting computer graphic calculations to a part of the UV spectrum? e.g. are there differences in how the math works between RGB vs (printerscheme) magenta-cyan-etc. ?
