ROYGBIV??

I thought they said Indigo wasn't actually in the spectrum. That it's actually just some form of violet, or blue, or something....

You guys still arguing about that? This is supposed to be the joke post.

Indigo is technically a colour and you can find it in the spectrum, but there's nothing special about it.

(It's the equivalent of going 1, 2, 3, 3.5, 4). The real reason it's in there is because Newton, when he first came up with this, thought that 7 was a special holy number and there had to be 7 colours in the spectrum. (And he calls himself a scientist?)
