It depends on the monitor.  Take a look at
   http://plan9.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/doc/85/4-01.ps.gz
That solution (which used l2 optimization over a psychophysical
color difference metric) gave very good results, but is way too
complicated for awk.    You can run the computation once, build
a decent spline approximation to the hue curve, and use awk to
interpolate in the table, given <n>.   That's the approach of
