Not seeing in the ultra violet is considered a design advantage because ultra-violet and living tissue do not good bed fellows make, and seeing UV may also exacerbate the effects of chromatic aberration. Digital cameras often can see some UV though.
    And infra-red - good for checking that the batteries in your remote aren't dead...

Hmm, researching blue this week then, I thought. I wonder if they have the equivalent of those perfume blenders who have a perfect sense of smell - people with brilliant eyesight and colour detection skills who can blend new colours to order. I'll pop in and ask next time I go past.
