This is a pretty general question that can be applied to any machine
that allows you to mix R G and B at will.

Does anyone have a formula that shows how to mix R G and B to simulate
a specific wavelength of light. For example, say I want to simulate 560nm
(somewhat yellow-green). How much R, G and B to make that color (or something
close to it) ?

Thanks
