Dominant Wavelength (of a colour stimulus, not purple)
The wavelength of the monochromatic light stimulus that, when combined in suitable proportions with the specified achromatic light stimulus, yields a match with the colour stimulus considered.
Symbol: ?d
Note 1: When the dominant wavelength cannot be given (this applies to purples) its place is taken by the complementary wavelength.
Reference: C.I.E.
Note 2: For the definitions of Achromatic and Specified Achromatic Light Stimulus, see C.I.E. In particular, for surface colours, the light source serving as illuminant is taken as achromatic.
Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
