Are colors really related to wavelengths? Or is it just a myth made up by misinformed people?

Yes but also no.

The human eye has 3 light cones which are sensitive to different wavelengths (pic related) but they overlap. It's not possible to see what a "pure" wavelength looks like (e.g. 550nm) as any visible light will activate all 3 light cones to varying degree, although one will usually dominate.

once again, you all shut your asses whenever that color is mentioned since it probably disprove whatever nerd theory you have about colors

No, you just constantly ignore the comparison to sound waves and the fact magenta acts more like a chord than a note.

They stand in neither a sufficient nor necessary relationship with colors. They are merely related, in the same vein anime girls are related to biological women.
That colors have nothing to do with wavelengths can more than abundantly be shown by dreaming in color. At the very least, an excitation of the brain is an infinitely more accurate cause. The optical nerve destroys the wavelength information.

Buy a diffraction grating on ebay. It costs a few dollars at most.

You will observe different colors at different angles which corresponds to a differend lambda in [math]d \sin(\theta)=\lambda[/math] as explained in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_grating#Theory_of_Operation

It really is a few dollars. Also you can do spectroscopy with it.

Use LSD to fuck around with your brain signals to see super colors.

Negative frequency resonant radiation!

Negative frequency resonant radiation
https://arxiv.org/abs/1201.2689v1
Optical solitons or soliton-like states shed light to blue-shifted frequencies through a resonant emission process. We predict a mechanism by which a second propagating mode is generated. This mode, called negative resonant radiation originates from the coupling of the soliton mode to the negative frequency branch of the dispersion relation. Measurements in both bulk media and photonic crystal fibres confirm our predictions.
