It depends on how you think about your spread. If, as someone else said, you're trying to represent a tunable laser going from red to blue, going through gray is completely wrong. That is not what a laser will do, ever. It will always be a fully saturated color.

So, depending on what you're doing, you want different things. You may want to view your color space as an RGB cube, and go through gray. Or you may want to view your color space as something more like HLS or OKLCH, and not go through gray.
