Olo is the colour when we excite the optical cells of the green spectrum with lasers that don't touch red and blue cells. In my view this means the other two spectral cells will also have a "super" colour. Why don't we hear from them and what would be your suggestion for a name?

Well, it's just what 395 nm and 680 nm look like, respectively. Or so close to that that it doesn't make much difference.

In my understanding you are right for the Blue because it is further away. For red, the situation is similar to green in that most wavelengths excite both red and green. The idea to focus the lasers only on the green cells leaves no red in the impression. Focusing only on the red cell will cause a unique colour accordingly.

Well based on the naming convention of the first one, I'd guess the other two would be named "loo" and "ool"?

PURPLE.

sorry I tried to be funny.
