Color theory has been extremely well researched for quite a long time. If you are not familiar, I would suggest reading up on the CIE 1931 color space [1]. Some of the confusion in the article relates to terminology. >When we say “yellow” we typically mean a pure monochromatic light with a wavelength of about 570nm. This is not actually what most people mean. Colors like "yellow" usually mean the tristimulus values that produce the visible color yellow. This is a totally different concept than a single-wavelength light source. This becomes more important for colors like "purple".
