> The missing orange-red-purple corner appears small in the diagram in comparison with the missing blue-green corner, but in reality humans perceive much more different colors in the orange/red/purple corner, so the relation between those areas would be opposite in a uniform color space.

Do you know if this is why looking through a true green-blocking (pure magenta or purple) filter (e.g. Wratten 32, 33, or 34A) is such a different experience than a digital photo taken using the same filter?

Looking through those filters is extremely surreal for me, but I've not been able to capture anything like it with any camera.
