Colors of the Visible Spectrum
Accurate computer display of the color and RGB values of a particular wavelength of the visible spectrum is an application of both color and vision science and color display technology. The spectrum incorporates the falloff in sensitivity of vision toward the short and long wavelength limits. The appearance of the spectrum changes depending on the color space used because of the different primary colors and white point of each color space. Unless your display is fairly color accurate, note that the spectrum image may appear degraded by banding; on a color-accurate display, the gradation in the image is smooth.
