ROYGBIV pronounced by most as roy-g-biv. It is an acronym for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. This is the order in which they appear in the spectrum.

A common way to remember this is "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain."

All the colors of the rainbow minus indigo: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. There are also other colors--ultraviolet and infrared-- but they are not in our visible light spectrum.

Any color you can think of. If its pure yellow. Then all you see is Pitch yellow and nothing else. but that's a funny questions. I would leave that to the professional scales

Roy G. Biv... red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. the colors of the rainbow are the colors in white so why wouldn't it make up light?

The basic ones. Are red, green and blue if you want to break it right down.

Visible light is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum from 380 nanometers to 740 nm. Electromagnetic waves, or photons, with a wavelength shorter than 380 nm will be ultraviolet (literally "beyond violet", since the low end of visible light is violet light) and wavelengths larger than 740 nm will be infrared (literally "below red", since the high wavelengths of visible light are red). The energies associated with visible light increase in the same order as the colors of a rainbow, namely Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, with red having the lowest energy. The combination of all visible light forms the color white, while the absence creates black.

All of them do. Every color that has ever been invented by a paint, hair-dye,

wallpaper, or fabric manufacturer is present in visible light. There are an

infinite number of them. Also, there are no colors in light that is not visible.

I mean, there are a lot of different frequencies and wavelengths up there

and down there, but no colors, since no human eye has ever perceived them.

All of them. "Color" (or 'colour') is what your brain registers when a visible wavelength

enters your eye and stimulates the retina enough for the brain to notice it. If there's

a color, then that's a visible wavelength. If it's not 'visible', then your brain doesn't

know about it, and there's no 'color'.

The visible spectrum is made up of wavelengths from about 400 nm to 700 nm. the combination of all those wavelengths creates white light.

Visible light is just a section of the electromagnetic spectrum from around 400 nm to 700nm. It's the fact that our eyes can see those wavelengths that makes it "visible".

Essential light, from the lowest end of red to the highest of violet.
