Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple/violet. Three primary colors and three secondary colors. But indigo, which is navy blue, is considered a color seperate from blue. So if indigo is part of the rainbow, why isn't pink or forest green part of the rainbow?

So what are your opinions on this matter?

Every color in the world is part of the rainbow. Don't you pay attention to hexidecimal charts? :P

But the standard ROY G BIV rainbow, I guess, was catchy? Pink should be part of the rainbow though..

I know every color is part of the rainbow but indigo in the standard rainbow seems to not fit since blue is already part of the standard rainbow.

I guess it was made for the ROY G BIV acronym.

But I always thought that Indigo was more purple than blue. But then again, why would they add violet if they already had a purple?

Isn't violet present when purple isn't and vice-versa?

Why not cyan in the rainbow? (in fact, I believe some cultures/languages have cyan as part of the rainbow, I believe :D)

Because obviously who named the colours of a rainbow was too lazy to list the various hues of the colours of light.


The world could always use more heroes!

Actually it's because Newton liked the number 7 and wanted there to be 7 colours.

It's possible that Newton's "blue" was really cyan and his "indigo" was really blue.

But how does that work, I mean... Was Newton color blind?

Well, cyan/light blue could have been mistaken for blue. Thus, blue became indigo.

Also, re violet:

Violet and purple are different wavelengths of light (violet is beyond blue in the electromagnetic spectrum, whereas purple is a combination of blue and red light)...but due to a quirk of human vision, we see them as exactly the same.

With that in mind, indigo may be a tetrochromatic color (A.K.A.: a color that we can neither see and imagine) so it appears blueish to us.

Apparently some humans are tetrachromatic and can see a 4th fundamental colour besides red, green, and blue.

I wonder what that would look like to them.

I'm betting they see a lot more yellows. Those are the four right? Red, blue, green and yellow?

I'm not sure. I think so. But do they see yellow the same way we do, or do they see it as some unimaginable colour?

Honestly, I was just going off the colors that they use for the special buttons on say, tivo remotes. (A, B,C and D buttons) I never really used those..

Ah.

There does seem to be a common misconception that the primary colours are "red, yellow, and blue". What they really mean are magenta, yellow, and cyan, the primary colours of pigments (subtractive mixing; all colours together make black), and the ones seen in printer cartridges.

Light uses "additive mixing" (all colours together make white) and its primaries are red, green, and blue. I actually had a teacher who got this wrong.

I would not be surprised if they might be able to see infrared light and ultraviolet rays.

Some species see infrared and/or ultraviolet, I'd be curious as to whether any mammals do? ;) (fun fact: you can use a digital camera to test remote controls, the infrared looks like a bright blue/purple :P)

But we have blue lights, which are pure inferred. Why would you need to use a camera to tell what color inferred is?
