But isn't that what colors literally/fundamentally are?

Selecting one wavelength are discarding all the others, and sometimes shifting that wavelength to a more convenient hue is great for science, but feels like cheating when looking for a specific colour.

It's like looking for pictures of red cars, and getting a car that's 90% rust, a picture taken in a forest fire, and a picture taken through red-tinted glass.
