Well, I would rather not call the _raw_ red/green/blue channels of a
camera imaginary as they represent what the sensor is "seeing". But
there is indeed one thing to keep in mind: Due to overlapping spectral
sensitivities of the R, G, and B filters, a camera may not be able to
return any possible RGB triple within the full RGB cube, but only a
subset of the cube. And RGB triples lying outside of this subset are
indeed "not real", since the camera will never return them.
