Whether or not such-and-such person can see a particular color
is irrelevant.

It's relevant to the person who asked the original question, which was
specifically about human perception (as opposed to a spectrometer).

You could argue that such a question belongs more in the realm of
psychology, but these questions always come up in my physics class. I've
always found that relating everything back to our own experience is the best
way to keep the kids interested.
