Multicolor LED shows wrong colors

So I tested the notification LED, and no matter which colors I set in the apps, most were not showibg correctly.
So I started the internal test (dial *#36446337# to enter the internal test program, then go manual test and then led test.
There you can set the brightness of all 3 color leds manually.
With all 3 set to 100% I'd expect roughly white. Instead, this looks white-ish on my led:

Red and green gives yellow, but not here, it's alnost pure green. I get yellow with this setting:

So it seems the red LED is massively underpowered against blue and green, making all color settings in apps look wrong.

Does this look different on your 1+5?

I agree (but no, I don't particularly care) - the green LED seems much stronger, and the red may be a little weak.

RBG @100% only has a slight blueish tint for me. G+B looks like a reasonable cyan. I think what qualifies as "yellow" is subjective (c.f. "grue"), but I agree R+G is closer to green than yellow.

Keep in mind that the human brain is less sensitive to red.

Um, yeah, I know that, but that needs to be integrated in the led calibration. All three at 100% have to show white.
Anything else doesn't make sense at all. In the settings there are 8 colors to choose from, and those have to be the colors you actually see if you choose them.
