From spectrum to colour: Computer simulation of solution colour.

Many chemical experiments are based on colour observation of samples and so lutions, but the colour determination, in order to reproduce it on a comput er, is not completely solved. Otherwise, this simulation is a compulsory st ep while trying to represent in computers phenomena and experiments that in volve coloured solutions. When the colour determination is analytically don e, or better when the outgoing radiation from a solution is determined, UV- VIS spectrophotometers are used. This work exposes a procedure to obtain a fair simulation of the colour from the spectral data obtained by this metho d.
