Dominant wavelength

In color science, the dominant wavelength is a method of approximating a color's hue. Along with purity, it makes up one half of the Helmholtz coordinates. The dominant wavelength of a given color is defined to be the wavelength of monochromatic spectral light that lies on the straight line passing through the white point and the given colour in the chromaticity diagram.
