What Are the Colors of the Rainbow in Order?
The rainbow color order is as follows:
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Green
- Blue
- Indigo
- Violet
The easiest way to remember the rainbow color order is to use the mnemonic device ROYGBIV, in which each letter stands for the first letter of the color names (in other words, R is for red, O is for orange, Y is for yellow, etc.). Most people pronounce ROYGBIV in three syllables, making it sound and look more like the name of someone: Roy G. Biv.
Occasionally, you might see ROYGBIV written in reverse as VIBGYOR.
