How to convert RGB values to their corresponding colors and their dominant wavelengths in MATLAB?

I understand there's a challenge in the conversion as the colors are not monochromatic and there could be metamerism. I just want an approximation for the purpose of visualization of data.

Colour of silver nanospheres of size range 50 nm - 80 nm?

Here’s a clue. Go to Google. Type in size color silver nanoparticles and look at images....

Thanks for your answers. I have already looked it up and know that different sizes and shapes give different colours. To make my question clear, I was wondering what would be the colour if AgNPs of sizes 50 nm - 80 nm, along with bigger aggregates are present together.
