Playing off the "chimerical color" examples - it's possible to approximate the effect of "imaginary colors" (activation of only one cone cell type) by fatiguing the other two and then looking at the target color. e.g. staring for a while at #FF00FF and then switching immediately to a #00FF00 makes the green "pop" in a strange way.
