A Java program that converts a wavelength of light in nanometers to an RGB colour.
/**
* A Java program that converts a wavelength of light in nanometers to an RGB colour. See the main method for example
* usage.
*
* It uses linear interpolation over the "CIE 1964 standard observer" table and sRGB matrix + gamma correction
* to do the conversion.
