A red sunset occurs when sunlight passes through a thicker layer of the Earth's atmosphere, scattering the shorter blue and green wavelengths. This leaves behind the longer red and orange wavelengths, creating the red hue we see in the sky.
The Rainbow as you see it are the colours which constitutes the light you see or rather percieve.
The most colourful colour you can see is white, because your eyes will be absorbing all parts of the visible colour spectrum. White consists of the most colours, so it is the most colourful. Alternatively, it could be argued that black is the most colourful, because mixing multiple colours of paint yields a very dark sample of paint. This phenomenon is actually known as subtractive colour, because each colour of paint is really "subtracting" the other colours from what is being reflected. For this reason, even though many colours of paint mixed together produce black, they are actually producing the least colourful light, and white is still the most colourful.
The color that has the highest dispersion of light is violet. This is because violet light has the shortest wavelength among the visible colors, causing it to refract the most when passing through a prism, creating a spectrum with the greatest separation of colors.
You cannot see colors that are outside of the visible spectrum of light, such as infrared and ultraviolet. These colors are not detectable by the human eye without special equipment.
The name for when light is split up into the different colors of the spectrum is called "dispersion."
dispersion of white light into its constituent colours
red colour dispersion is less than all other colours.

Dispersion phenomenon is exhibited by the triangular prism. Dispersion is splitting of composite white light into its constituent colours.

We see different colours because other colours are being absorbed.
All the colours of light travel at different wavelengths.The length of the wavelengths depends on the amount of energy that the colour has. For example, red light has the longest wavelength, thus having the lowest energy. When the wavelengths of the colours change, due to a less or more dense atmosphere, the colours split. This is called Dispersion (the splitting of white light).
A prism will split white light into its constituent colours (the colours of the rainbow). "White light" is the light we see around us i.e. natural light from the sun. This light is made up of all the colours in the visible spectrum
