Summary

Description
English: The visible color spectrum, from 380 nm to 710 nm. Calculated directly using the tristimulus values of the CIE 1931 color space. CIEXYZ to RGB conversion is done assuming sRGB 1.10 device characteristics. Desaturation of out-of-gamut colors causes the spectrum to look somewhat garish here. This image can serve as as a basis for other representations of color spectra.
Русский: Спектр видимого света диапазона 380-710 нм. Изображение получено вычислением в цветовом пространстве CIE 1931. Преобразование из CIEXYZ в RGB сделано в соответствии с характеристиками устройств sRGB 1.10. Уменьшение насыщенности out-of-gamut цветов. Это изображение может служить как базис для других подобных изображений спектров.
