red), a near-middle letter in the Hebrew alphabet (yod, the tenth letter in the

Hebrew alphabet, first letter of yerakon, or green), and the last letter in the

Hebrew alphabet (tav, first letter of techelet, blue).

4. In Isaiah 44:13, a strange word appears, sered. It shows up nowhere else in
the Bible. In most English translations, the word is translated as “marker.”
However, Jewish interpreters (including the Malbim, 1809–79) refer to this

word as an unknown color. To find out what this name implies, let us apply
35
the color model derived in this chapter. The CNV of sered is
504 = (4 = ד) + (200 = ר) + (300 = ש)

This value is recognized to be well within the range of CNV values for the
visible colors, thereby implying that the interpretation of the Jewish sages,
35
referring to sered as a certain unknown color, was probably correct.
Introducing into the most accurate prediction equation (Figure 12.3), we
obtain for the expected wave frequency , corresponding to this CNV :

WF = 502.62 + 0.173(504) = 589.8.

35
This locates sered near the midvalue for the green zone (565).
5. An additional analysis associated with colors perceived by receptors in the
human eye (that is, the RGB colors) is given in subsection 10.3.3.

12.3.4 Wavelength as the Response

In the earlier statistical analyses, we used wave frequency (WF ) as the response (the

dependent variable) for our analyses. Since wave frequency is a reciprocal number
of wavelength (refer to the formula given at the beginning of this chapter), one
may suspect that applying the same statistical analysis for wavelength would result
in a nonlinear curve.
This is not the case. An example for a repeat of the analysis referring to the
basic set (without red), where wavelength is the response , is displayed in Figure
12.5. We realize that the linear relationship is unexpectedly preserved.
