Never heard of any of this before, but going down the rabbit hole of "colors that don't really exist" sounds like fun

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