A typical human eye will react to wavelengths inair from about 380 to 750nm.[1]
The familiar colors of therainbow in thespectrum include all those colors that can be produced by visible light of a single wavelength only, thepure spectral ormonochromatic colors.
But there are no clear boundaries between one color and the next.[2]

Color displays (e.g.,computer monitors ortelevisions) mixred,green, andblue color to approximate the color spectrum. In the illustration, the narrow red, green and blue bars show the relative mixture of these three colors used to produce the color directly above.
