color spectrum
Light's visible range
The color spectrum is the range of colors produced when white light separates into its component wavelengths—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, as seen in rainbows or through prisms.
More broadly, it describes any continuous range of colors: The sunset displayed the full color spectrum.
The phrase often appears figuratively to suggest complete variety or range.
