I have been trying to find the name of this effect in this image

Specifically, how the image has been converted to white and a spectrum of colors that flow into each other. I would like to know how to do this, what is the name of this effect so I can Google it?

  • @DesignPhoenix - could you please avoid typing your answers with unnecessary initial capitals. Let's try to show a good example to would-be designers who might happen upon your otherwise good answers. Thanks. – Billy Kerr Apr 5 '19 at 15:49

    @LiefdeWen - Yes, I could easily edit it, but there's a point of principle here. Why should I waste my time fixing something the answerer could easily fix by not doing it in the first place. – Billy Kerr Apr 5 '19 at 16:19
