Great example of *biology versus displays* is high visibility and fluorescent clothing. Think of the white lines on a road at night time or clothing worn by contractors.
To your eyes it appears hyper intense. But take a photo with a camera and the image looks dull and muted.
As well as *hue* (the wavelength of light), we also detect *chroma/saturation* (like adjusting the brightness on your screen).
We also have white balance. The best of example of this is trying to take a photograph or film image of a person with black skin. Quite frequently a dark skinned actor's skin tone will change between different movies. Sometimes they appear so dark skinned you cannot make out any facial features; other times they look like appear much fairer toned and get accused of makeup or skin lightening. It's up the director of photography to adjust the white balance of a scene and historically, they suck at that job.
There's nothing here!
