10 Myths About Rainbow
BY MELANIE RADZICKI MCMANUS

Do rainbows only have seven colors? No -- more like a


million! MAMIGIBBS/GETTY IMAGES

This is an interesting "myth," because depending on how you


look at it, it can be considered a true or false statement. In
school you probably learned that the colours of the rainbow
are (in order) red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and
violet. These are actually the colours of the visible spectrum.
Red has the longest wavelength and violet the shortest. (Some
scientists think indigo is so similar to blue that it's
indistinguishable for most people [source: National
Geographic].) But those seven hues are not the only ones in
the world, of course. Where's the pink, for example? Or brown?
Or sage, aqua, celadon and coral?

Those colours, and more, are actually there in the rainbow. They're just invisible. Rainbows contain upward of 1 million colors – that's
right, 1 million – in a much larger continuum than the seven measly ones with which we're familiar [source: Howard]. Unfortunately,
our human peepers can't see all of those other hues. So does this mean rainbows contain them or not? That's for you to debate.
