Pink, Red, Blue and Violet Noise Generation with Matlab Implementation

The present submission is a set of four Matlab functions that provides a generation of:

1) Pink (flicker) noise - power spectral density -3 dB/oct

2) Red (brown(ian)) noise - power spectral density -6 dB/oct

3) Blue noise - power spectral density +3 dB/oct

4) Violet (purple) noise - power spectral density +6 dB/oct

A brief example is given to clarify the usage of the functions. The input and output arguments are given in the beginning of each function.

The code is based on the theory described in:
