White light is the sum total of the colors in the visible spectrum. We know this because it's possible to separate white light, with a simple prism, into a visible spectrum, from red to violet.

If you have a prism at home you can try it yourself! if not, do an internet search for Dark Side of the Moon, by Pink Floyd.
