I always learned “ROYGBIV” as the colors of the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, violet.

What’s up with the last two? Isn’t indigo basically just dark blue? Why is it violet and not purple? Can’t it just be “ROYGBP”?

    This is a running joke in my house. My daughters like to wear a lot of blue/green shirts. Apparently I always guess it wrong.

      Interesting, I didn’t know I had a form of colour blindness until I was messing around with the accessibility settings on a Samsung Galaxy S8. Suddenly everything looked so much better and I could immediately tell the difference between shades.

      Having said that I still struggle with Coral. Is it pink or orange ?
