RGB/CMY(K) color wheel, violet is located between blue and magenta. Violet is closely associated with purple. In optics, violet is a spectral color (referring...

The term "indigo" can refer to the color of the dye, various colors of fabric dyed with indigo dye, a spectral color, one of the seven colors of the rainbow...

the United States refer to the blue-dominated spectral color beyond blue as purple, but the same color is referred to as violet by many native English...

details), three spectral bands are commonly combined into a false-color image. At least two spectral bands are needed for a false-color encoding, and it...

In radiometry, photometry, and color science, a spectral power distribution (SPD) measurement describes the power per unit area per unit wavelength of...
