Any mathematical function, or you just decided to spread numbers at your peronal taste/ feelings?
In school they teach you there are three "primary" colors (red, yellow, blue) and three "secondary" colors (orange, green, violet). Now these are "pigmented colors," as opposed to "colors of light," which I suppose can make a difference? Nonetheless this is how I derived the six basic colors. From there it was an educated guess (per what I said in the previous post) as to what color I should assign to number 1.
Also, what was the reason to leave wide hole in the spectrum (where turquose is) and what was the reason to exclude number "4"? And what was the reason to assign the number "4" not to specific color (wavelength) but to the mixture of all colors?
As I said the six "basic colors" had already been determined (had no idea about turquoise) ... Also, are you familiar with the Jewish Menorah? ... i.e., the older version with seven branches? I was trying to develop a relationship between this and the Star of David (i.e., hexagram), and figure out how to incorporate the number seven (seven branches of the Menorah) into both schemes. Anyway the number "4" is in the center of the Menorah and yet, there are only six colors which can be assigned to Star of David, therefore the only way to add a seventh aspect would be to its center (as in the Menorah). And, since the six colors has already been determined, it only made sense that the center be white, and hence the central color scheme itself -- "white light." This also makes sense in that the stand of the Menorah is the center as well as the "4th aspect." If you follow the link below you might get a better idea.

And why after non-mathematical assigment of numbers to colors you still use arithmetic (math) to combine them?
The numbers help to illustrate the symmetry between the Menorah and the Star of David, and that indeed the "4th aspect" belongs in the center (of each).
And what does 37x12=444 mean exactly in your color notation? What is "37" here, what is "444" and what do "x" and "=" mean?
After determining the number values for yellow (3) and violet (7), I realized that it corresponded to this meditation phenomenon that I relate at the
https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=429", as illustrated by my avatar to the left. Beyond that, I don't know that there's much else to say ... except that it helps illustrate the "spherical" relationship between the symbols, colors, numbers and the meditation technique.
