Hm, so is it correct to also call it ultragreen? In the same way that ultraviolet is the same effect but for short waves?

In this regard, it can’t be that novel of a discovery.

Ultraviolet is prnamed that because of the Latin meaning of ultra as "beyond", as it's "beyond violet" in the spectrum, same as infrared is "below red".

This would be "sideways green" perhaps :)
