You might also reconsider what I said about the eye/brain
processing the information (ie radiation) received by the eye.
Or you could take a photograph, on daylight WB, under flourescent
lighting. The photograph will show the one set of colours but
your eye will see different colours. What are the real colours of
the scene?
You might then begin to realise that the situation is not nearly
so simple as you seem to think.
