For a small set of other color-related videos, have a look at two from Tom Scott:
• "The Library of Rare Colors": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rApTzWboLrA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rApTzWboLrA
• "I Can't Show You How Pink This Pink Is": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NzVmtbPOrM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NzVmtbPOrM
The latter video makes me wonder: Is there a good way of finding out if a monitor, or even an entire color space, can contain this color? This may be a pigment where you really can't tell exactly what it looks like on-screen, because either the screen cannot display the color or the color space being used can not encode the color (or because the camera sensor can't properly capture the color).

- Darkphibre 7y agoI actually ordered some of this Pinker than Pink! As well as Black 2.0 and a few of his other pigments. I believe what he's doing is mixing in a pigment that fluoresces from sunlight, at the same frequency as the primary visible-spectrum pigment. Thus, more of that frequency of light is coming off the page than the visible light landing on the page. It's pretty crazy to look at in sunlight. Indoor, it's not quite as vibrant.
