It sounds like you’re trying to come up with a sentence or two that captures all of the insight on color that the commenters have given. While I’m a big fan of summarizing, and a big critic of those who can’t, I don’t think you can get it to work here. Instead of your final bolded change (the others are good), just point to or quote a few good comments that show what the visual system is doing, and how the optical illusions trick it.
In this case, the visual system is not trying to distinguish between individual RGB style colors (more details in the comments).
EDIT: I updated it with something similar. Hopefully it was an improvement. :) Thanks again for your help (which isn’t to say that I wouldn’t mind more help...)
