But yellow isn't necessarily just a spike at 569.356... There are plenty of other combinations of frequencies that together will stimulate the green- and red-cones enough to create a perception of (nearly?) the exact same yellow.

Right. I put the tildes before the color names to indicate that they are "around here".
