Go look up scotopic vision, phototopic vision, and metamerism if you want a deeper dive on human vision.

Our eyes are most sensitive in the green, but green LEDs are not necessarily the most sensitive

The green LEDs are not necessarily the most efficient in terms of amount of light emitted per watt of energy used, if I understand correctly. Hence the question - is the increased sensitivity to green enough to overcome that inefficiency, compared to white?
