Colors

The Wavelength Color node takes in a float number value (in nanometers) and converts that to a visible light spectrum color.

The table here shows the wavelength values that correspond to the output color:

Color	Wavelength
Violet	380–450 nm (688–789 THz frequency)
Blue	450–495 nm.
Green	495–570 nm.
Yellow	570–590 nm.
Orange	590–620 nm.
Red	620–750 nm (400–484 THz frequency).

Inputs

Wavelength (float)

The wavelength value in nanometers.

Outputs

* (Color)

The color value of the wavelength.
