Is it necessarily that we need RGB to produce the human visible color range? Are there other color systems that can produce the same effect and would they be preferred in the context of optimizing efficiency or manufacturing costs? And is it possible to increase gamut by adding 4th or 5th colors?

I feel like if we change the RGB combination to be some other color combination that perfectly matches each other and changed the corresponding detector sensitivity and input spectrum, then we could definitely recreate the human visible color range. It seems like the CMYK color space is also somewhat well known, so the exact use cases might determine what's more optimal.

It is interesting to see such a natural thing be quantified with mathematics using very standard linear algebra technique. I found the exam questions about this fun.
