However the diffraction provides shades of many colors. Every color imaginable, named and not named, every color that the eye can perceive, is in the rainbow.

The basic colors in order are:

  • Violet
  • Indigo
  • Blue
  • Green
  • Yellow
  • Orange
  • Red

ROY G BIV

Red, Orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet

Although a rainbow should have every single color if the light being shined is truly white
There are seven colors of the rainbow which can be remembered by just using one key word. This word in ROYGBIV which is an acronym for the seven colors. ROYGBIV stands for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. You will notice that each color sits next to a color that is similar to it such as red then orange then yellow. Mixing paint that is red and yellow will give you a n orange color and is one proven way of showing the changes of color in a spectrum.
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, & violet

You can remember them this way:
