RGB displays are designed around average human rods and cones. Audio compression is designed around psychoacoustics — what the brain notices vs. filters out in sound, so compression can selectively damage the part your brain throws away anyway.

I have never seen science fiction acknowledge how fucking weird our MP3s must sound and how bizarre the color gamut of photographs on a luminous RGB or reflective CMY(K) display surface (including printed paper) must be to space aliens.

the entire history of paint mixing is like that to some extent. and we don’t necessarily need space aliens for this, human tetrachromats and birds with wider color gamut sensitivity exist
