Aug 15, 2014 at 14:37 comment added Mr.Wizard @Sjoerd I look forward to your answer. I don't imagine that the computation itself is that involved but the derivation is. Individuals see color differently, and perceived color depends greatly on contrast, illumination (both spectrum and intensity, e.g. Kruithof curve), field of view, adaptation, etc. I suppose though these effects are to be ignored and a "standard observer" used however. Since commenting I learned that version 10 now includes LABColor and XYZColor which if correctly implemented should simplify conversion to monitor RGB.
Aug 15, 2014 at 12:10 comment added Guillochon @halirutan From reading about it online I agree that it doesn't seem too simple, however it doesn't need to be the perfect solution. Mathematica already has some color transformation functions available, so I thought there might be some easy way to relate the matrix transformations to built-in Mathematica functions.
Aug 15, 2014 at 6:32 comment added Sjoerd C. de Vries @mr.wizard. The question isnt really that complicated. If there aren't any answers by tonight I'll give it a try. Shouldn't take more than 15 minutes.

Aug 15, 2014 at 0:48 comment added Mr.Wizard @halirutan Within the gamut limitation of the display that is a standard assumption. It is far from simple however. Guillochon, even a basic introduction to color theory shows that this is not a simple subject. I am inclined to close this as "requires the services of a professional consultant." Without an algorithm to implement the vast majority of work on this doesn't specifically relate to Mathematica. I dabbled in this stuff in the past but I never knew enough to derive an algorithm and I've forgotten much.
Aug 15, 2014 at 0:40 comment added halirutan What makes you think that you can input an arbitrary continuous wavelength spectrum and create with a (highly monitor specific) mixture of 3 other wavelength spectra (namely red, green and blue) light which gives your brain the same impression as it would have seen the original spectrum?
