I've seen ROYGBV a few times too. Shame about indigo. I really like that color.

I thought RoyGBIV was the Spectrum and not the rainbow, but who the hell thought of even taking it out anyways?

yes, because cranium is the first and foremost source on science.
plus, does it really matter? a true rainbow has a LOT more colors than that.

a true rainbow... as opposed to an artificial one?
the colors we talk abotu- ROYGBIV- are the main colors, the rest of the colors are mixtures of these... so called &quot;primaries
.

Don't you guys remember last November when everyone overwhelmingly voted on a national referendum to remove indigo from the rainbow? Tsk, tsk, what short memories we have... Who can forget the Denver riots over this issue? The mayhem was such that President Clinton called out the National Guard. Naturally most of Europe denounced us, but as the &quot;Land of the Free&quot;, we used our God-given freedoms to voice our opinions about inferior colors everywhere.

Maybe some of you weren't registered to vote. Such a shame.

dont even get into a discussion on colors.


red green and blue are the primaries. yellow, orange, indigo and violet are called secondary, which are made from mixtures of the primaries... red and green = yellow, red and blue = violet... etc...etc.
