Really nice article, I'll look closer to green lights next time I see one.
The most striking experience I had was working with a blue laser (430nm). The best way I found to describe its color is that it was screaming "blue" at me. Since then, I'm always disappointed when looking at a screen displaying #0000FF.
Sounds like we need the next VR glasses to shine colorful lasers into our eyes instead of screens.
If we could get that to work, then we'd be much closer to VR without a headset - a device able to paint arbitrary images directly onto users' retinas could be stationary and handle multiple users - giving us a holodeck, just without the tactile parts.

"This is a good time to spare a thought for our red-green colorblind brethren. [...] it is to them that we owe the beautiful color of green traffic lights. The spectral requirements that make the green signals distinguishable from red in their eyes make them beautiful in ours."
