Comment on The Colors of Chemistry

What's going on with Rhodamine B? Its color doesn't change as a function of concentration? Why does its transmittance data seem to bounce back and forth between 0 and 1?

There's something odd about how my normalization heuristic behaves with this particular spectrum. I haven't yet looked into it.

Ah here we go. The spectrum for Rhodamine B is noisy and it's throwing the normalization heuristic off. I've added a moving average filter and zeroed out some small noise in the >600 nm range and the colors make more sense now.
