RGB Colors for the Rainbow

The rainbow has millions of colors which cover the visual spectrum. However, most people see a smaller number of colors. I learned seven colors in school, and they are easily remembered using the acronym ROY G BIV. There are probably other ways to remember the colors, but this works for me.

Below are the colors of the rainbow with the RGB - red/green/blue - color values. Some of these are included on the RGB color wheel, but indigo and violet are included here.

The colors are:

• Red - 200, 0, 0
• Orange - 255, 127, 0
• Yellow - 255, 255, 0
• Green - 0, 255, 0
• Blue - 0, 0, 255
• Indigo - 75, 0, 130
• Violet - 148, 0, 211
