>Science still hasn't discovered what wavelength correspond to Magenta and White
The combined wavelengths of base wavelengths? They still behave as a singular wave and the varying wavelength can be mapped as a wavefunction of the change of the oscillation through time, as to where the association with a specific colour comes from, and why it is qualitatively expressed as it is, is a different question entirely.

Doesn't matter if it's a constituent wave or if the base wavelengths are made from any wavelengths, it's the specific combination of electromagnetic oscillations which elicits the reaction, more specifically the rate of energy flow in a certain pattern is what elicits the reaction as all electromagnetic radiation is the same thing just dilated/contracted such that the energy transfer rate is increased/reduced, so colour perception is more accurately related to the energy transfer rate per unit of time

What we interpret as white light is any light consisting of a near-uniform superposition of visible wavelengths. The sun's emitted spectrum is not uniform, but when you factor in Rayleigh scattering and absorption lines in the atmosphere, the intensity distribution of the incident spectrum from the Sun (at least the part our eyes our sensitive to) flattens out pretty significantly.

We have three types of retinal cones that correspond to peak absorptions of about 420, 530, and 560 nm (all with different standard deviations in absorption). We interpret color based on relative difference in the absorbed light from the different cones: The bigger the difference, the more saturated the particular color our brain interprets, and the smaller the difference the more desaturated the color. So white light is just what we interpret when the distinction in intensity across the absorbed bands of wavelengths is negligible.

They are absolutely related to wavelengths. A color is a distribution over wavelengths, and the distributions corresponding to magenta and white are very well understood.

Black is the color the mind uses to represent the absence of photons hitting the eyes. Thus, color is in the mind, not in the world.

The only people who are confused by color are people who still believe in naive realism.

We see magenta when our red and blue cones respond simultaneously. However there is no "simple" wavelength that will do so, only combinations of multiple waves (see the low overlap of S and L cones). The same is not true of yellow, which as you mention is caused by responses in red and green, M and L cones. But because of the overlap photons with only specific wavelengths (~570-590 nm) such as those emitted by lasers, will stimulate both of those cones so we will perceive the color yellow.

What else would it be you fucking faggot. Do you randomly see magenta out of fucking nowhere? No? Then its your retarted brain interpreting signals that it is recieving. Particular wavelenghts or some combination of them, certain interactions of photons, doesn't matter, its basically the same thing. If producers of the screens that we look at your retarted picture at knew how to make them show magenta, then guess what, magenta isn't some kind of unsolved mystery.

That should tell you that 1 number cannot do it (easily, without some advanced math fuckery) otherwise programmers would not waste the additional memory and complexity.

Hue color and temperature are different.
Hue can be a psychiatric definition of color, color is the definition of either temperature or Hue, temperature is in related to the spectral decomposition of black body radiation. Color is seen as the composition of various spectra, and Hue therefore is the qualitative scattering of light which gives those colors

If you are a deer, moving at dusk/dawn mostlly, why would you care about red. You don't really eat anything red.

UV is highest at dusk/dawn so it would make sense for most animals that utilize that to specialize in that light. For predators too.

There is also a trade off for light sensitivity and seeing color. Movement detection in low light crucial compared to red.

That said, primates that pick berries and/or watch for red fertile asses to fuck would care about red....
