You say that, but Magenta is similar. It's a unique reaction in our perception to two different wavelengths of light combining. Magenta is not in the rainbow.
The whole point was that there is physical combination of wavelengths that induces pink sensation but there is none for this new olo, this is why i think it is not a property of light but purely a human sensation.
Yeah, that's the entire point I'm making. In the same way magenta is not a single wavelength but a side effect of our perception, olo is an effect of stimulating individual types of cone cells instead of the eye as a whole.
