A method for color reproduction in a display device includes receiving spectral color input to be displayed on the display device. The method additionally includes selecting a primary from a plurality of available primaries that is a closest match of a spectral reflectance of the spectral color input, wherein each of the plurality of available primaries is assigned an association with an associated spectral reflectance. The method also includes displaying the selected primary in a temporal frame of a set of temporal frames for a pixel and passing remaining spectral errors to a next temporal frame of the set of temporal frames. The method further includes passing remaining spectral errors to neighbor pixels for spatial error diffusion at each spectral band after all temporal frames of the set of temporal frames are used.
