How much red, blue, and green does white light have?

Different kinds of white light have a different spectrum.

Light from a white LED will have blue at the peak intensity while white light from a CFL or something else will have a different looking spectrum.

I don't understand how this works. Shouldn't pure white light have a unique spectrum no matter what?

AFor example, a certain white LED's spectrum looks like this:

White LED Spectrum
