355nm would generally not be visible; though some people may see a very dim, deep violet glow.
405nm would be visible to everybody, and would appear as a slightly bluish-violet color.

I've had Lasik surgery at 193nm. Didn't see a thing except a little trail of smoke. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/duh2.gif

Well, the way Lasik works is by vaporizing corneal tissue with a high-power pulsed laser. I saw (and smelled) a little bit of the, um, "vapor." It's normal for Lasik, although it's a little creepy when I think about it.

The old axiom is that you can see it... once.
All joking aside, unless you have revision v.2.0 of "human-eye-wetware" you will be unable to see 355nM. Im still waiting on my upgrade.
strangely enough, 405nM appears as a very very very faint purple, somewhat similar in color to an 808nM diode through an "IR sensitive" camera.
