raises hand since when does a spectrum not imply a total order?

A spectrum can have multiple dimensions, like the colour spectrum: obviously red is more red than orange, but blue and green are equally non-red.

Isn't the colour spectrum just wavelength? (which also means stuff like pink isn't on there)
