  2. Visible spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

    Evidence indicates that what Newton meant by "indigo" and "blue" does not correspond to the modern meanings of those color words. Comparing Newton's observation of prismatic colors with a color image of the visible light spectrum shows that "indigo" corresponds to what is today called blue, whereas his "blue" corresponds to cyan.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors_by_shade

    Magenta is variously defined as a purplish-red, reddish-purple, or a mauvish–crimson color. On color wheels of the RGB and CMY color models, it is located midway between red and blue, opposite green. Complements of magenta are evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 500–530 nm.

  4. Spectral color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_color

    A rainbow is a decomposition of white light into all of the spectral colors. Laser beams are monochromatic light, thereby exhibiting spectral colors. A spectral color is a color that is evoked by monochromatic light, i.e. either a spectral line with a single wavelength or frequency of light in the visible spectrum, or a relatively narrow spectral band (e.g. lasers).

  5. File:Linear visible spectrum.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Linear_visible...

    English: A linear representation of the visible light spectrum. Colour ranges were taken from 'CRC Handbook of Fundamental Spectroscopic Correlation Charts' (see w:Visible spectrum). Spectral XYZ locus coordinates were found here. Every 10nm, the spectral locus point was used as the initial point in a search for a matching sRGB colour (assuming ...

  6. Color chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_chart

    Color chips or color samples from a plastic pellet manufacturer that enables customers to evaluate the color range as molded objects to see final effects. A color chart or color reference card is a flat, physical object that has many different color samples present. They can be available as a single-page chart, or in the form of swatchbooks or ...

  7. Color of clothing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_clothing

    Preah Pithu T Monks - Siem Reap. Historically, different societies have set their own restrictions and norms for different clothing. For example, during the Tudor period, the crimson red color was not allowed in the ranks below the “knights of the garter.” [9] During the Renaissance era, the significance of clothing color increased, with specific colors reserved for the upper class and ...

  8. Metamerism (color) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamerism_(color)

    Multiplying the spectrum by the cones' spectral sensitivity curves gives the response for each cone type. In column 2, metamerism is used to simulate the scene with blue, green and red LEDs, giving a similar response. In colorimetry, metamerism is a perceived matching of colors with different (nonmatching) spectral power distributions.

  9. CIE 1931 color space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space

    In 1931 the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) published the CIE 1931 color spaces which define the relationship between the visible spectrum and human color vision. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The CIE color spaces are mathematical models that comprise a "standard observer", which is a static idealization of the color vision of a normal human.
