The "seven colours of the rainbow" have been known to generations of school kids and are widely accepted throughout education and elsewhere. Knowledge should not try to modify current thinking - it should report it. I suggest we re-instate the ROYGBIV listing until a fuller debate has taken place. Alternatively we could set up an article for the "traditional spectrum", but that doesn't get over the problem of the template.

502:
You know, the rods (and/or cones) in our eyes are only sensitive to the electromagnetic-wave frequencies of what we call red, green, and blue. All other colors are merely varying combinations of these three. That's why color monitors can emulate pretty much any color that we can see while having
456:
I'm surprised that ROYGBIV is the standard, actually. In most of east europe (where I grew up), the standard is ROYGCBV (the cyan version). There's even a chant: "Каждый Охотник Желает Знать Где Сидит Фазан". Perhaps wikipedia just has non-standard definitions for colors "blue" and "violet," so it
411:
I didn't know this debate was going on, so let's perhaps take a step back? The division of the optical spectrum is arbitrary. We have to use something, and Newton's seven colours are as good a division as any (if we were to select colours based on the examples above then we might eliminate blue!).
503:
only red, green, and blue phosphors. Believe it or not, these three are the only true primary colors. Though it doesn't seem as intuitive, yellow is a combination of red and green, and violet looks reddish blue because it's between the blue frequency and the doubled frequency of red.
480:
Excuse me, but cyan is not a monochromatic color (it's a mix of green and blue), so it shouldn't be listed in a list of EM spectrum, in my opinion! Only monochromatic colors (meaning existing of only 1 specific frequency in the spectrum) should be listed here.
293:
is known almost exclusively for its inclusion in ROYGBIV, which is because Newton wanted 7 colors instead of just 6. I don't think it is really talked about practically in anyway independent of its inclusion in ROYGBIV. I say
664:
should also be included as spectrum colors, but they are not included solely because it is not traditional to do so; it is only traditional to depict the spectrum as having the seven colors originally assigned to it by
387:
Which one looks like a more accurate representation of the color spectrum to you? In my oppinion, the bottom one (with cyan). Let's hope we can get someone other then us two involved in this discussion too.
577:
I've added a sub-table for the radio spectrum. I think it's a useful addition to a template that claims to describe the EM spectrum, but I'm not entirely satisfied with it for two reasons:
669:. If chartreuse, spring green, and cyan were included, that would make ten spectrum colors. How one divides up the spectrum is somewhat arbitrary because it is a continuum of color.

Has there been enough talk about the inclusion of indigo for there to be a poll on whether indigo should actually be included?? Here is my answer:
223:
I added a category so the articles are automatically mutually accessible. After the article's next edit which reloads the template, that is. (
