Claim One:
1. A system for generating a colored light, comprising: a set of at least five illuminant types, wherein the set of at least five illuminant types is associated with a chromaticity gamut and, wherein each illuminant type of the set of at least five illuminant types is associated with a hue angle; a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: sort a set of at least five illuminant types into a circular order by hue angle; determine combinations of adjacent illuminant types of the set of at least five illuminant types in the circular order; determine, based at least in part on a mapping, an output level set for a received color coordinate, wherein the mapping comprises associating each color coordinate with an output level set having an output level for each illuminant type of the set of at least five illuminant types using the combinations, wherein the output level for each illuminant type is determined at least in part using an interpolation of at least three chromaticity coordinates, wherein each chromaticity coordinate of the at least three chromaticity coordinates is determined at least in part using an intensity for each illuminant type, wherein the intensity targets a zero intensity or a full intensity, wherein a circular ordered list of illuminant types is circularly ordered according to an illuminant type hue angle, and wherein for each chromaticity coordinate all illuminant types of the set of at least five illuminant types targeting the full intensity are adjacent in the circular ordered list and all illuminant types of the set of at least five illuminant types targeting the zero intensity are adjacent in the circular ordered list.
