What color can you see in the rainbow?

Well, different people see it differently. For example, some people say there are six colors in a rainbow and some people say there are seven colors in a rainbow. The people who say there are seven colors in a rainbow mean (in order from lowest to highest) red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The people who say there are only six colors in a rainbow mean (again, in order from lowest to highest) red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. One trick to remember the seven (if you believe it's seven) colors of a rainbow is ROY G. BIV. The R stands for red. The O stands for orange. The Y stands for yellow. The G stands for green. The B stands for blue. The I stands for indigo and the V stands for violet. You see, the name (or word) ROY G. BIV is a easy thing to remember because it is so unique. So know you know what colors you can see in a rainbow are when you look up into the sky after it rained and then turned sunny (that is how a rainbow forms [when it first is raining and then it stops and turns sunny]). So next time it rains then becomes sunny, go outside and see for yourself how beautiful the colors of a rainbow really are.
