Again, most colors can't be reproduced with a single wavelength. Cameras don't use wavelength either but color filters, a bit like our eyes. Most color calibration tools also work that way. Colors are generated by our brain based on the difference of activation of our 3 cones, and those cones activate not for a single frequency but for part of the spectrum. Since only the amount of activation is important, we can use light with various frequencies to get the same amount of activation, look at the spectra of CRT vs LCD monitors for example.
We can measure wavelength that we can't see, but since our brains are what generate the colors in the first place, it doesn't make much sense to invent names for "colors" that nobody can see.
