That's where I am at present. My next step will be to scan one of
those wallchart spectra, but I was hoping someone would have someting
more respectable. Thanks for the tip.

As a start you can do something like:

n = 200L ;Number of colors
h = 240.0*FINDGEN(n)/n ;Generate rainbow in hsv space
s = REPLICATE(1.0, n) ;Saturation = 1
v = REPLICATE(1.0, n) ;Value = 1
COLOR_CONVERT, h, s, v, r, g, b, /HSV_RGB ;Convert to RGB

TV, REPLICATE(1.0, n) # r, 0, 0, 1 ;Load red 2-D image
TV, REPLICATE(1.0, n) # g, 0, 0, 2 ;Load green 2-D image
TV, REPLICATE(1.0, n) # b, 0, 0, 3 ;Load blue 2-D image
