Thank you for this correction. I didn't know this, so I was wrong.
When color is measured in this way, is it at all correlated with the common perception of "warm" colors and "cool" colors? When artists talk about a "warm blue" or a "cool red," is this something that is purely emotional, or also quantifiable?
Artists are not always totally accurate when they characterise colour in this way and it can be empirically measured.
If you want to see how good your perception actually is here is a test you can try out.
