More than meets the visible light spectrum

So I was playing around & experimenting just now with an 8-minute star trail shot I took the other night (playing around/experimenting = something didn’t work the way I wanted, in this case, it was so dark I couldn’t find anything on which to focus, & the entire scene is horrendously blurry), & while adding some color overlays I needed to know what color was opposite blue (turns out it’s yellow). Naturally, I sauntered on over to Google’s Image Search (which suddenly has a totally new functionality) & looked for photography visible light color wheel. Oughta give me what I’m looking for, right?

Well, it did. BUT, it also gave me a very odd 12th result, as you can see for yourself in the screenshot below. It certainly doesn’t bother me or anything, though I genuinely want to know exactly how an image search for photography visible light color wheel manages to pull in a screaming transformer at #12…

Visible light?
