It is possible to see something close (how close I don't know) by saturating the S & M cones instead of avoiding them. Wikipedia refers to these as 'chimerical colors':
I've always taken it to be that the color is unique to the situation/viewer -- a sort of pearlescent void-color that can't be described in any known language, but which just Is. More a physical phenomenon than an actual color, but distinctly hued somehow.

Is it too late to rename it to Octarine?

In my headcanon octarine is a colour between orange and deep purple. Sometimes it has a hazy blackish halo.

+1 for the Sir Terry reference.
I suspect many animals experience color quite differently, including seeing infrared/ultraviolet, etc.
