How many colors are on a rainbow?

Answer 1

Answer #1:

The main colors are:

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue or Indigo

Violet (not purple)

There are seven colors in the rainbow and can be remembered by the mnemonic device Roy G. Biv: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.

An easier way of remembering the seven colours of the rainbow is by this expression: "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain."

However, indigo is not considered a part of the color spectrum. That was added because an early researcher assumed there were 7 different natural colors like there are 7 different music notes in a key.

Answer #2:

The rainbow has ALL of the colors ... every color of cloth, paint, hair, paper, stone, or animal that ever existed. Every color that the any eye has ever seen, or CAN see, is in the rainbow. There are millions of them. Many have names, but most don't.

Answer 2

All of them are. Every color that you or anybody else has ever seen, every shade of

paint that was ever mixed or ever can be, every drapery swatch or fabric fiber that

was ever dyed, every color that has a name and all the ones that were never named,

are in the rainbow. In principle there are an infinite number of them.

Answer 3

There are seven colours in a rainbow.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

A good way to remember the order of the colours is to think of this phrase:

Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain

e r e r l n i

d a l e u d o

n l e e i l

g o n g e

e w o t

(Note: Other putative colors, such as olive, mustard, magenta, purple, burgundy,

fuschia, chartreuse, tan, lavender, brick, cyan, ivory, aqua, pink, gold, turquoise,

salmon, rose, orchid, navy, lime etc. are products of mass hallucination at various

times and places. They have been outlawed by ISO and do not exist anyway.

Scientific research in real laboratories proves that the seven colors listed above

are the only colors that have ever actually been seen by anybody.)

Answer 4

The most distinctive to our perception are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. But in reality there is an infinite number because they meld into one another. There is no clear cut-off between one and another. In essence, a rainbow contains every possible colour and every variation of colour with the visible light spectrum.
