The visible light with the shortest wavelength (highest frequency) is the last color

you can see on the blue end of the visible spectrum.

The visible light with the longest wavelength (lowest frequency) is the last color

you can see on the red end of the visible spectrum.

In between those limits lie every color perceptible to the human eye ... every

shade of paint that has ever been mixed, and every hue of fabric ever dyed.

The ones that have names and the millions of others that haven't been named.

Some are so close together that average, untrained human eyesight can't tell

them apart, but they're different colors nonetheless because their wavelengths

are slightly different.

The visible spectrum is "continuous", with no 'segments'. Obviously, no complete list

is possible.

"Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet" worked fine in the 4th Grade, but

it doesn't begin to scratch the surface.

Is ultraviolet the shortest wavelength?

No. If the shortest wavelength is on the left end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is microwaves. if the shortest wavelength is on the right end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is gamma rays. I think it is microwaves because micro means small.
