The wavelength of coloured light varies.
Red light is the lomger wavelength, and so appears on the outside(longer) side of the rainbow.
Correspondingly, Blue light is the shorter wavelength, and so appears on the inside ( shorter) side of the rainbow.
The colours in order are , (infra red ' not seen),red, orange, yellow., green, blue. violet and indigo , (ultra violet ; not seen).
Also notice, that the light bends!!! Because outside the red arc the sky is darker., whilst on the inside of the blue arc the sky is lighter.
If the rainbow is is particularly bright, then you will see a reflected rainbow, outside the primary rainbow. The colour order is reveresed. More rarely, you may see a triple rainbow, outside again. The colours a reversed back to their original order. The secondary bow is fainter than the primary bow and the triple bow is fainter again.
Also when you seen a rainbow, stand with your back directly to the Sun. You are then looking at the centre of the rainbow. The coloured bow is at an angle of 42 degrees, from the direct line ,sun , you , and the rainbow centre.
Finally, you may not see the full arc of the rainbow, this is because there is no rain falling from that part of the sky.

Why don't rainbows show the color pink?
When a ray of white sunlight hits drops of water (also in the forms of spray and mist), it bends and breaks the sun ray into into different colors. These colors span the entire spectrum of colors and because the spectrum of colors is always the same and always in the same order, rainbows are always the same color. The order of the colors are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
What do rainbows consist of?

Are rainbows always in the east?
Rainbows are not always in the east; their position depends on the angle of the sun and the observer's location on Earth. Rainbows are generally seen in the direction opposite the sun, so if the sun is in the west, the rainbow will be in the east.
Are all rainbows the same?
No, not all rainbows are the same. Rainbows can vary in size, intensity, and even in the number of bands of color they display. Different environmental conditions, such as the size of water droplets and the angle of the sun, can affect the appearance of a rainbow.
Why do rainbows have the same colour pattern?
Because your eye always interprets the same range of wavelengths as the same series of colors.
