Improved Wave Length to Color

The CIELAB perceptual model of human vision can be used to predict the color of a wavelength in sRGB. I found the CIEDE2000 corrections to hue, chroma, and lighness were required to get the right values in the blue to violet region. The CIEDE2000 results seem pretty close to what I see looking through a diffraction grating considering I have no way of knowing how my eyes are adapted.

Use the new, faster  version. It can run in under 1 minute;

nprocWavelength_Color_CIEDE2000.mw   and  WtoC_data.xlsx

You will need the data for the color matching functions in the WtoC Excel File. The data directory can now be controlled in the mw file.
