The performance of a cut-on optical filter is typically presented using the plot of the percentage transmission at each specified wavelength. The figure below demonstrates the combination of light that would be transmitted through a cut-on filter with the stopband and pass­band in the visible range. The red, green and blue curves are color matching functions designed to quantify the way the human eye [perceives color.](https://optics.visimax.com/blog/common-uses-of-optical-filters-an-example-of-led-emission-and-color-perception) When the transmitted spectrum is combined with color matching functions, we can see that the light transmitted through the filter will appear to be orange colored.
