ramificam-se em


Explanation:
sugestão, ainda que eu acredite que a idéia de ondulação seja mais fiel à idéia original de "ripple", creio que nesse caso, o uso de "ramificação" é mais próximo do contexto

derivam


Explanation:
"ripple out" dá a idéia de que os espectros se originam das cores principais. Apesar de "ripple" significar ondulação, não é uma noção de uso corriqueiro, a não ser que esteja tratando especificamente da teoria das cores.
No seu caso, eu diria "há quatro cores principais - das quais derivam quatro espectros correspondentes...".
