Is this color a flaw in our brain? Why does it exist?

and for retards, no, red is not the opposite of green

Colors don't really exist, they are just labels our brain assigns to various combinations of red, green and blue.

No it's not a "flaw". Why shouldn't our brains have a way to parse a mixture of red and blue light with no green?

Why would it be a flaw? Our brain interprets a mix of red and green activation, as well as a mix of green and blue activation, why not blue and red? It happens in nature. Human perception is not designed to provide us with an accurate account of the visible spectrum, it's not designed at all, and works the way it does because that's more useful to distinguishing objects in nature than other systems. There's a reason we are more sensitive to green light than any other.

An alien species with four kinds of cones would see colour in a fundamentally different way, and would see white on one of our digital displays not as white, but as a colour. We would be fundamentally unable to agree ab which colours were which. Yellow,-green and forest green could look as far apart to them as red and green and blue do to us. The notion of distinct colours is a human construct, not a fact of the universe.

Yellow and Cyan are brighter than Green, even if by a slight amount

our green cone is the most sensitive. Yellow and cyan looking brighter is a function of stimulating multiple cones at once.

Question to scientists, if plants are green to absorb long-short wavelength aka magenta light, if they were exposed to yellow light, would they only absorb the red part while rejecting the green part? And if they were exposed to cyan light would they absorb the blue part and reject the green part?
