It's also true that colors in between the three frequencies that our eye's cones can easily detect cannot be accurately reproduced by a computer monitor. Yet these colors are great attention-getters for just that reason - you never see them on TV (which abstracts and exaggerates the limits of human cones); so fashion tends to gravitate toward those "in between" colors. Modern flower breeds also bend toward these colors, for the same reason, and artists for the last century have adored them as well - making it awfully hard to buy an accurate reproduction of many or most paintings.
