I would argue that the perceived "clash" of complementary colors in the
RGB system (highly saturated EGB colors, that is) is due to such colors
NEVER EVER occurring besides each other in the natural world. They
simply cannot. Because those extreme colours _per se_ can never be
achieved reflectively from natural white-ish light.
For example, to get pure RGB red, you need to blast out red light in
such a narrow spectral band, that the brightness within said band
exceeds the brightness within the corresponding band of natural
white-ish light.
