Very interesting! I remember learning about the Bayer filter in a computational photography class I took. I didn't realize the choice of green was meant to reflect a bias about human perception. It kind of reminds me of luminous flux, a metric adjusted to reflect the varying sensitivity of the human eye to different wavelengths of light.

Yep, but it doesn’t come without consequences, especially for colors like purple in low light situations.
