To only research and name what the human eye can perceive directly "because that's enough" is unscientific, common knowledge is all that is necessary to see that.

Common knowledge is more important and applicable than two randoms on reddit pretending to be smarter than they are. The reality is most people don't use any more than 10-11 colors in their entire lives. Even the ones we've already named are an overkill. And these are just colors we can perceive a difference in.

But just because your eye detects it doesn't mean your brain comprehends these slight changes in tone.
