Wavelength-based ray colors are useful in systems where multiple wavelengths of light are raytraced and you would like to see the paths of each wavelength, such as a spectrometer system or an optical system with a dichroic beamsplitter. Wavelength-based ray colors can either display ray colors from red to blue, long wavelength to short wavelength, or ray colors based on the wavelength of the light with IR and UV wavelengths displayed as black.

Source-based ray colors is a great option when you have multiple sources in your model and want to see the rays and ray paths for each individual source. Each source can have different color rays.
