In answer to David Whitney's question on simulating a specific wavelength I 
suggest he look in his library for the book, The Science of Color, last 
published by the Optical Society in 1973.  
     It has a good chapter on quantitative data and methods for
colorimetry including a table of tristimulus values of the spectrum from 
380 to 780 mu (5 mu steps).   That same chapter has the formulas used to 
generate the table. If you are doing color research you should use a 
spectrophotometer to measure your output as color guns vary and may also 
give you different values in different areas of the screen.
