You know, the someone who came up with the colors was a genius. They follow the spectrum of the visible light. If you take it further, even black and brown fit there in a intuitive manner; that's how black bodies look like when you lower the temperature further from the red-glowing. The only thing left to remember is the order of grey and white appended at the end of the rainbow, they are kinda extras. I find this much easier and more intuitive than any word play, but YMMV. Maybe it's because I'm messing up with light-related things so the spectrum is very deep in my mind. |

I just remembered: Black - Brown - rainbow - Grey - White. Starting at Black, ending with White, the Brown and Grey just naturally fit in. |
