The seven main colors of the visible light spectrum are violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, red, and orange. The first letter of each is sometimes used to make up the acronym VIBGYOR.
Red orange yellow green blue indigo violet ROY G. BIV
The 7 colors of the visible spectrum are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.A good way to remember this is by the name Roy G Biv, because each letter of that name is starting letter of the spectrum colors. (For Example, the y in Roy stands for yellow.)
types include (in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength): radio waves, microwaves, terahertz radiation, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays
Only a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans. This is the only part that can be considered to be light, with the quality of colour. The main difference between the colour of light is its wavelength, the shorter the waveliength the more blue the light the longer the wavelength the more red the light. So visible light with a frequence of between 4x10-7 and 7x10-7 are the only electromagnetic waves that give colour when separated. But all electromagnetic radiation can be split into bands of isotopic wavelength.
The 7 accepted colours of the rainbow are: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. A rainbow forms when sunlight, shinning through raindrops, is split into the main colours making up 'white' light.
The sunlight hits the glass of water and then the light disperses out as a spectrum of colour (rainbow). This is because sunlight is white light and white light contains the 7 colours of the rainbow. When it hits the glass the colours refract and disperse out as the spectrum of colours, which we see as a rainbow.

The visible light spectrum has a continuous range of colors; the division into 7 colors is quite arbitrary and doesn't correspond to physical reality.
7 colours in the visible spectrum
In order from lowest frequency to highest: radio, microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma.

Yes, it's visible light rays which enable us to see; these rays are in the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum, between ultraviolet (which has a shorter wavelength) and infrared which is a longer wavelength. The visible light rays are divided into the 7 colours of the rainbow, with violet having the shortest wavelength & red the longest.

I found two EM spectrum jokes. Whether they are good, let the reader decide:An XKCD comic about the electromagnetic spectrum (please see the related link)and this (funny?) valentine:Roses reflect a light frequency at one end of the visibleelectromagnetic spectrum,Violets reflect a light frequency at the other end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum,Sugar is C12H22O11,And you release the endorphins in my brain.

Radio waves do not emit visible light. Only light with wavelengths of roughly 4*10^-7 to 7*10^-7 meters are visible.
The Ramanathan scattering of light is the phenomen of visible light scaterring into the 7 different invisible colours of light, when it comes in contact with water, the water sufficing as a glass spectrum to diffract the light into the colours. This phenomenon takes place naturally after rain as the rainbow appears.
