----------------------------------------------
from wikipedia :
A rainbow is an optical and meteorological
phenomenon that causes a nearly continuous
spectrum of light to appear in the sky
when the Sun shines onto droplets of
moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. It
takes the form of a multicoloured arc,
with red on the outside and violet on
the inside. A double rainbow includes a
second, fainter, arc with colors in the
opposite order.
Even though a rainbow spans a continuous
spectrum of colours, traditionally the
full sequence of colours is most commonly
cited as red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, indigo and violet.
It is commonly thought that indigo was
included due to the different religious
connotations of the numbers six and
seven at the time of Isaac Newton's work
on light, despite its lack of scientific
significance and the poor ability of
humans to distinguish colours in the
blue portion of the visual spectrum.
