this graph shows colors as wavelength increases. imagine it inverted so that it shows colors as frequency increases. then you can simply overlay the spectral density graphs, such as pink noise, and imagine what color would result. because the white noise density is uniform, it will output all colors of the spectrum equally, so the result is white.

I knew of this. Noise generators in synthesizers sometimes have a color knob.
