72% of all hues.
The space of visible colors is three-dimensional, and the spectrum is missing two dimensions (brightness and saturation). You canβt assign a percentage to that.
Well there is wavelength and intensity, an all together it is called a spectrum. No need for a third parameter. Also there are mor than 100% of all colors in there, as a quick check on Wikipedia would reveal..
The third parameter is saturation, which comes into play for non-monochromatic (i.e., multiple-wavelength) colors.
