Why are indigo and violet in the rainbow and not just purple?
Why are indigo and violet in the rainbow and not just purple?
I always learned “ROYGBIV” as the colors of the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, violet.
What’s up with the last two? Isn’t indigo basically just dark blue? Why is it violet and not purple? Can’t it just be “ROYGBP”?

Indigo is closer to Blue. Violet is closer to Red.
Purple is inbetween Indigo and Violet.
