I'm trying to understand things like saturation and vibrance, and have found that I need to improve my understanding of digital colors. (Lets stick to RGB and 8 bits)
I have just read, about Prophoto RGB, that it contains colors the human eye cannot see.
I know there are several million possible colors in RGB, and I understand that the human brain cannot distinguish more than 100 000 from each other, but I can "see" any combination of RGB values, except pure white on paper.

I do not understand how any color space can have a color, within 8 bit RGB that I cannot see. (except whhite on paper)
