    Well really every single wave length could conceivably be a unique colour if we had receptors for it…what we see of the full spectrum, does not really represent the spectrum .

    Since they stimulated only the M cone without the S and L getting the normal natural stimulation for green, they technically are seeing a new level of green colour (since red and blue got 0)
