WHAT DOES DOMINANT WAVELENGTH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dominant wavelength

In color science, the dominant wavelength and complementary wavelength are ways of describing non-spectral light mixtures in terms of the spectral light that evokes an identical perception of hue. On the CIE color coordinate space, a straight line drawn between the point for a given color and the point for the color of the illuminant can be extrapolated out so that it intersects the perimeter of the space in two points. The point of intersection nearer to the color in question reveals the dominant wavelength of the color as the wavelength of the pure spectral color at that intersection point. The point of intersection on the opposite side of the color space gives the complementary wavelength, which when added to the color in question in the right proportion will yield the color of the illuminant. In situations where no particular illuminant is specified, it is common to discuss dominant wavelength in terms of some standard illuminant, such as flat spectrum white light.
