1. A method for designing a colorimeter having integral CIE-like color-matching filters, comprising:
- determining a set of channels from a plurality of channels;
determining a set of filters, each filter being permanently deposited on each of the channels, each filter being an absorptive filter, each filter having at least one layer, at least one channel having at least one filter with a double layer so that a linear combination of the set of channels matches a set of CIE-like target color-matching functions within a tolerance, each channel integrating at least one detector and at least one filter onto a single semiconductor substrate;
determining a colorant for each layer on each channel from a set of colorants; and
determining a thickness of each layer on each channel.
