A Story about the Colors We See
Rainbows are sunlight, spread out by
water droplets, into colors.
Rainbows are a multi-colored arc, with red on
the outside and violet on the inside.
A rainbow spans a continuous range of colors.
We generally talk about seven colors: red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Every once in a while, a secondary rainbow is
seen.
It is a second, fainter arc, outside the main arc.
The colors in the opposite order: violet on the
outside and red on the inside.
