 Posted May 12, 2000 by Vandervecken I personally think that Indigo is made up. As far as I can see with my naked eyes, the Indigo/Violet bit takes up about the same angular interval as the other five colours, so why not just call it Violet? We could always modify the popular mnemonic phrase, thus: 'Richard Of York Gave Battle Vainly'.
I also once saw a complete rainbow, which you can if you're in a plane and the sun has risen above the clouds. It was actually a complete circle, which was a total revelation to me, and I thought it most beautiful.

 Posted Jun 22, 2005 by KizerKaz In the version of the song about a rainbow that I've heard, there's no Indigo anyway!
It goes 'red and yellow and pink and green, orange and purple and blue... I can see a rainbow, see a rainbow, see a rainbow too!'
Or is that just the easy kids version?
It was on my Sooty video (which I must find again, I love that!)
