LASER CRIMSON
The first fracture of white light yields red -- the longest wavelength, the most persistent. It bends least through the prism, traveling the straightest path. In the spectral narrative, red is the closest to the original unity, the last color to fully separate from the whole.
WAVELENGTH 620-750NM / BAND 01MOLTEN AMBER
Orange emerges as the second spectral revelation -- warmth made visible. Where red retained the memory of wholeness, orange accelerates into its own identity. It is the color of emission, of heated metal approaching incandescence, of the boundary between warmth and light.
WAVELENGTH 590-620NM / BAND 02ARC FLASH
Yellow is the spectral peak -- maximum luminosity, minimum subtlety. It is the wavelength the human eye perceives most intensely, the color that demands attention before all others. In the prism's decomposition, yellow marks the center of the visible range, the fulcrum of light.
WAVELENGTH 570-590NM / BAND 03PHOSPHOR MINT
Green sits in the center of the visible spectrum -- neither warm nor cool, but the equilibrium point between them. It is the color of phosphorescent screens, of data made luminous, of nature's most common photon. In decomposition, green marks the transition from fire to ice.
WAVELENGTH 495-570NM / BAND 04PLASMA CYAN
NEON ORCHID
Violet arrives last -- the shortest wavelength, the most refracted, the farthest traveler from the original beam. It bends most dramatically through the prism, diverging from every other color. Violet is the edge of visibility, the boundary between light we can see and radiation we can only measure.
