Sorry, yes - the absorption levels drop off as you vary further from "Red", "Green" and Blue".
Hmm - one type of cone gives you a single dimension of colour - (bright/dark)- two cones would give you two dimensions (a plane) - three cones gives you three dimensions of it. I wonder if a fourth dimension of colour would feel qualitatively different, or would simply feel like our current colour perception with more detail.
