I don't think this makes sense, all colors are real... except the mental illnesses, beiges and sepias.
well these ones specifically are displayed on your monitor (which can only display red, green, and blue) so they actually aren't real
your eyes are being tricked into thinking there's yellow for example, when there's really only red and green, this is because we can't really see yellow, we can just guess that its there based on the relative red-ness and green-ness of the light
However, it is very lucky for monitor manufacturers that we're so easily 'fooled'
Isn’t violet / purple the made up one ?
I think magenta is the made up one. But also apparently most colors are existentially weird in some way
