I don't really have a direct answer to this though I feel like no matter the color being able to see radio waves would be pure misery. I imagine many (most?) electronics would pulse or shimmer with a bright (red?) glow and you'd be able to see it all the time through walls (and your eyelids). Every radio tower, every cell tower, every phone, etc. always visible forever. No fucking thanks
Your eyes might have a second lid which would be able to reduce the penetration depth if that would be a problem. I do think that if the world would be as said, then the world and the human equivalent would be more or less able to deal with it. Though if electricity would've only just been generated, then that evolutionary step might not be done, so goods would've taken that role. blindfolds, farraday cages around your sleeping room and alike.
It would be a world in which special objects are marked like in video games which is a fun idea.
I really like you bringing up what you did though, since your comment made me have nice silly thoughts. Thanks!

Honestly I think it would just kind of fade into a vague glow which our minds would filter out.
We can already see polarised light, and that's basically how it is
