After the Rain

    RAINBOW        

 

 

 

The Colours of the Rainbow:

RED – ORANGE – YELLOW – GREEN -  BLUE – INDIGO - VIOLET

From a physics point of view, the rainbow spans a continuous spectrum of colours—there are no "bands." Newton originally (1672) named only five primary colours: red, yellow, green, blue and violet. Only later did he introduce orange and indigo, giving seven colours - by analogy to the number of notes in a musical scale! (I have to say, I always had difficulties identifying “indigo”.)

I also have a Rainbow post at my other blog today – The Island of the Voices. There you can read a bit about mythology and folklore connected with rainbows; and also about the phenomenon of the double rainbow.

"I played a heap of snow in a school play. I was under a sheet, and crawled out when spring came. I often say I'll never reach the same artistic level again."
