Does anybody know (mathematically) how OpenGL smoothens colours across primitives that are drawn. i.e. if I draw a line:
glBegin(GL_LINES);
glColor3f(1.0, 0.5, 0.0);
glVertex3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glColor3f(0.5, 0.0, 0.3);
glVertex3f(2.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glEnd();
how does it calculate the chosen RGB values all along the line based on the RGB values for the end points? What is the mathematical relationship?
Thanks.

This can be explained precisely in the spec of OpenGL such as:
