I have reverted the change user:Smack made to the intro of this page - I'm afraid it was quite seriously wrong. Animals with colour vision do not "divide up the specturm"; the colour seen is a function of the relative levels of activation of the different classes of receptors, and shows continuity from one colour to another. seglea 10:18, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Point taken, but even though I already knew the concept of "chromacy", I found the introduction confusing. Do you expect people to know what a "pure spectral light" or "spectral light" is? Also, since you reverted my disambiguation, please find a better page to link to than the mess that is spectrum. --Smack (talk) 03:58, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I agree that what is there, though technically correct, is not easy to read. Also I agree that your electromagnetic spectrum is probably better than spectrum - I didn't have time to do more than a quick revert but will get to it as soon as i can. seglea 12:04, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
