Similarly, I think I’ve read somewhere that pink isn’t in the color spectrum. Or was it magenta?

A lot of colors, like those, as well as gold, aren't on the spectrum of visible light either.

I’ve always wondered why no one ever seems to mention that there’s no such thing as brown light.

It’s orange. Brown is just really dark orange.

It could be a very dark red or yellow as well
