Granted, our trichromatic vision is likely adapted to the scenery of this earth. We are most senstive to hues of green for instance. That being said, all things equal, wouldn't new grays appears with the new cone sensitivies just as the old grays would now yield a color response?
>- Probably more distinguishable shades in the rainbow
What I'm curious about is those pure hues we perceive that are infact the result of composites of wavelengths. Those equalities would break up. Two things that were once, say, equally orange could suddenly have different hues in the new mapping.
Oh yes maybe the previous rainbow would not be found in the new rainbow, previous colors would maybe be changed that's a good question...
I'm even wondering if we all "see" / "perceive" the same colors / have the same response to the same hue (i.e. is my blue the same as yours ?!)
wouldn't new grays appears
Maybe, my wild guess is just that gray would be more rare, if we define gray as the neutral color (de saturated = mix of every color, a kinda flat spectrum)
>Oh yes maybe the previous rainbow would not be found in the new rainbow, previous colors would maybe be changed that's a good question...
Well, the prism/rainbow is the pure wavelength specturm, so that's one of the things that probably would turn out the same in the new mapping.

The sensitivity range does vary between individuals. Some women are in effect tetrachromats because they have two sets of, I think it is, Red cones that are sufficiently wide apart. I find this very fascinating.
- colors that were previously the same could be now perceived different (a red car, a red flower, red light from LCD screen etc...)
- White / grey would still exist but be less common, as a lot of white / grey light would now be close to a new receptor
