[comp.graphics] comp.graphics.snobs colour database

Since there's been an RGB database floating around in this newsgroup
recently, may I be trendy and ask if anyone out there has a reasonably
sized database of colours in XYZ co-ordinates?  I've got the values
for the Macbeth colour checker chart out of Roy Hall's book, but
that's a pretty small sample.....

Also, in a couple of months (or when I next have breathing space)
I anticipate playing around with spectrally sampled rendering (i.e.
more than three ordinates per colour).  I once saw a database of
colours sampled at seven or eight wavelengths, but I can't remember
where.  I think it may have been a paper that came out of Cornell.
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
