method = "linear" or "table"

Choose between a more accurate table lookup conversion (the default) and a common linear approximation.

space=string designating a known color space

Specify an output color space other than "RGB".

The WavelengthToColor command creates a new Color structure which corresponds to the color of a light with the given wavelength.  Wavelengths that do not correspond to visible colors will return as black.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{ColorTools}\right)\:$

$\mathrm{WavelengthToColor}\left(300\right)$

$⟨RGB\; :\; 0\; 0\; 0⟩$

$\mathrm{WavelengthToColor}\left(570\right)$

$⟨RGB\; :\; 1\; 0.878\; 0⟩$

$\mathrm{WavelengthToColor}\left(570\,\mathrm{method}=''linear''\right)$

$⟨RGB\; :\; 0.857\; 1\; 0⟩$

The ColorTools[WavelengthToColor] command was introduced in Maple 18.
