The colour spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be percieved by the human eye; light reflects off objects in different colours with different degrees of refrangibility. The spectrum is divided into 7 colours, most of us identify them as the colours of the rainbow.
Arranged in order:
Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo – Violet.
