Color is hard, but this article doesn't do it justice. Wheels aren't broken, perception is just weird and filled with all sorts of fun non-linearities.
The article begins to touch on color spaces, which is where I'd suggest curious folks to begin if they're interested in color.[0] The article fails to note the fact that MANY other color spaces have been invented in attempts to address the problems it mentions![1] OKLab is a modern one that may be familiar to folks here. Scroll down to some comparisons vs other spaces, it's a nice uniform circle again![2] (OK, maybe not entirely uniform. Color is hard.)
Tangent: Why the heck are there alpha-blended images in an article about color!?
