What then explains bees and hummingbirds attraction to brightly colored flowers? It seems there must be some nuance making it a not entirely universal rule. (Not arguing, just wondering how firm the rule actually is, because I've seen the same claim made about bitter tastes which is fairly true but also has many exceptions.)

Don't bees and insects view things in a different spectrum than humans??. some good ytube videos on it - plants /flowers look entirely different colour wise, to what we see them as, and have various visual designs imprinted on them, almost like 'landing patterns and bullseyes' (to help facilitate different insect species for harvesting pollen seeds etc, to ensure the plants reproduction/ proliferation or sumsuch)...

Insects have receptors which allow them to see in the low ultra-violet range. Most mobile phone cameras are also sensitive to this range, and you can get filters which can show you an insect's eye view. They can also see through certain clothes fabrics which can facilitate voyeurism, so that is why this feature is not strongly advertised, and made relatively difficult to use.

Vibrant colors as a warning of toxicity is called apoSEMATISM:
