what are the exact colors of a rainbow?
962067
The main colors of a rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, but there isnt usually that much purple. By the way, that list is from outside to inside.

much to many people's belief's 7 basic colors aren't based on the rainbow colors. in fact some of the colors on the rainbow is actually a mix of primary colors that are really secondary or tetiary. not primary [basic]. so... here we go...\n\n\n7 basic colors are:\n\n1- a cool yellow a.k.a Hansa Yellow Medium—a lemony, slight bias to blue-green;\n\n2- a warm yellow a.k.a New Gamboge— a golden, slight bias to red-orange;\n\n3- a cool blue a.k.a Phthalo Blue (GS)—an icy, slight bias to blue-green;\n\n4- a warm blue a.k.a French Ultramarine— a purplish blue, slight bias to violet;\n\n5-  a cool red a.k.a Quinacridone Rose—a rosy, slight bias to red-violet;\n\n6- a warm red a.k.a Pyrrol Orange—a tomatoey red, slight bias to red-orange;\n\nok..only six [6] are listed here. to get the 7th color,all u need to do is... well here's where the magic is....\n\na] Use a warm and a cool of each primary hue (a warm red and a cool red; a warm yellow and a cool yellow; a warm blue and a cool blue) to mix bright, high-inten sity secondary called a Mixed Primary Hue. The secret is in using the right split primary colors and not crossing over the lines into another section!\n\n++TIPS++\n\nTo mix the oranges, mix the red and yellow within the lines to the left of the circle. First mix orange, and then add more yellow for yellow-or ange and more red for red-orange. \nTo mix the greens, mix the blue and yellow within the lines to the right of the circle. First mix green, and then add more yellow for yellow-green and more blue for blue-green. \nTo mix the purples or violets, mix the pink or rose with the blue within the lines at the bottom of the circle. First mix purple , and then add more blue for blue-violet and red for red-violet. \n\nNow here's the rule that makes this work: 'When mixing two colors on the wheel to achieve high- intensity color, don't cross over the line-stay in each section. Just imagine, no more muddy colors!\n\nCrossing over the lines and mixing the colors on either side of the line causes the mixtures to become less intense and slightly grayer. Cross two lines and even more graying occurs. This graying is called neutralizing. It is the result of a slight touch of that third color being added to the mix. To mix earth colors, you simply cross over the lines or add a warm neutral to your mixtures.\n\nOK ...\n\nNow for the much awaited 7th basic color....\n\nThat's where Quinacridone Burnt Orange—the seventh color of our essential 7 basics-enters the scene… it's a versatile warm neutral.\n\n\nhehe. quite interesting. hmm.

A rainbow is formed when sunlight passes through water droplets.  The light is bent allowing the entire color spectrum to be visible.  The color spectrum is always present, but not always visible to the naked eye.  A prism also produces the same effect as it also bends the light allowing the color spectrum to be visible  This is also why the sky is blue.  The light is bent as it passes through the atmosphere and allowing the color blue to be visible to the naked eye.  This process is know as refraction.

The three primary colors that exist are Red, Green and Blue. By mixing these three colors in different proportions, we can get various colors. \n\nIn website design, the colors of each of the primary colors can have a value between 0 to 255. Using combination of these colors, the webdesigners have to write the hexadecimal equivalent of the combination. You can find the color - hexadecimal conversion charts, and detailed information in the following links :\n\nhttp://science.howstuffworks.com/light6.htm\nhttp://eies.njit.edu/~kevin/rgb.txt.html\nhttp://www.hypersolutions.org/rgb.html\nhttp://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/color.cgi

If you are asking about light (beams of) then the answer is white.  A prism separates a beam of light into its component parts, producing a "rainbow".  Natural sunlight near mid-day is considered white light.  Sunlight reflected from a white surface likewise can be refracted into a rainbow spectrum because that surface is reflecting all colors of the spectrum.\n\nIf you are talking about pigments, then the combination of all colors is a dark, muddy mess of indeterminate color.

An inverse rainbow is when the colors are reversed so that the red band of color is on the inside of the rainbow and the blue band is on the outside.  Moonbows, or, halos, are inversed. I wasn't aware that rainbows were different here and there. If they are, my guess is the explanation would be found in optics and, maybe bioelectric fields stuff? Here's a GREAT website for future reference and to put in your Favorites file.  Just click on any "circle" of science and follow the algorithm. Handy little tool. Can't wait to come back and read if someone has an explanation.\nhttp://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html

The sunlight spectrum is made of all colors of the rainbow, and seen as light because all the colors are present at the same time. \n\nWater magnifies the visibility of this light and we are able to see the colors of light distinct and separated into the actual colors of sunlight.

Its the refraction of light, through water droplets. Rainbows can only be seen when the sun is at your back or behind you.

erm... rainbow forms when the sun shows up after a rain. this is because after a rain, the air is very humid, which means got water particles. when sunlight passes through these water particles, they are split into 7 colours, because of refraction. different colours means the colours travel in different speed. the red is the fastest, while the purple is the slowest. if the 7 colours are combined together, they will form the white, or transparent, light again. keep in mind that the rainbow only forms at the opposite of the sun.

RED (Even if it can reflect all the colors, you are not sending them to the object)

Wow, not enough information to calculate. We would need the following information:\n\nYour position in latitude and longitude\nTime of day to the minute\nThe position of the clouds that are raining\n\nThen, let's state a few facts...\n\n1) Rainbows do not have a position, they are an optical illusion. The refraction/reflection can be inches away or thousands of feet. You would not necessarily know the distance by looking.\n\n2) You can only see a rainbow when the light source is behind you.\n\n3) There is no base of a rainbow because they do not exist, remember they are an optical illusion. You can see where the rainbow appears to be cut off by the ground, but there is no base. In fact if you were in the right position you could see a full circle rainbow.\n\n4) There is no location to move on a rainbow, but if you did move, yes it would look like the rainbow moved too. In fact there is no way to could be in a rainbow. HOWEVER, that does not mean a friend could not move to a position and appear to be in the rainbow, however your friend would not see the rainbow.\n\n5) Seeing dual rainbows (one at 42 degrees and the next at 50 degrees) is not uncommon. Seeing a triple or quadruple is much more unusual.\n\nSO there you go, so rainbow facts.

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a nearly continuous spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outside and violet on the inside. A double rainbow includes a second, fainter, arc with colors in the opposite order.\n\nEven though a rainbow spans a continuous spectrum of colours, traditionally the full sequence of colours is most commonly cited as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. It is commonly thought that indigo was included due to the different religious connotations of the numbers six and seven at the time of Isaac Newton's work on light, despite its lack of scientific significance and the poor ability of humans to distinguish colours in the blue portion of the visual spectrum.\n\nScientific explanation\n\nThe rainbow effect can be observed whenever there are water drops in the air and sunlight shining from behind the observer at a low altitude or angle. The most spectacular rainbow displays when half of the sky is still dark with draining clouds and the observer is at a spot with clear sky overhead. The rainbow effect is also commonly seen near waterfalls or fountains. Rainbow fringes can sometimes be seen at the edges of backlit clouds and as vertical bands in distant rain or virga. The effect can also be artificially created by dispersing water droplets into the air during a sunny day.\n\nIn a very few cases, a moonbow, or night-time rainbow, can be seen on strongly moonlit nights. As human visual perception for colour in low light is poor, moonbows are most often perceived to be white.\nRainbows may also appear in the spray of a water fountain\nEnlarge\nRainbows may also appear in the spray of a water fountain\n\nThe rainbow's appearance is caused by dispersion of sunlight as it is refracted by (approximately spherical) raindrops. The light is first refracted as it enters the surface of the raindrop, reflected off the back of the drop, and again refracted as it leaves the drop. The overall effect is that the incoming light is reflected back over a wide range of angles, with the most intense light at an angle of about 40°–42°. This angle is independent of the size of the drop, but does depend on its refractive index. As seawater has a higher refractive index than rain water, the radius of a 'rain'bow in a sea spray is smaller than a true rainbow. This is visible to the naked eye by a misalignment of these bows [1].\n\nSince the water is dispersive, the amount that the sunlight is bent depends upon the wavelength, and hence colour, of the light's constituent parts. Blue light is refracted at a greater angle than red light, but because the area of the back of the droplet has a focal point inside the droplet, the spectrum crosses itself, and therefore the red light appears higher in the sky, and forms the outer colour of the rainbow. Contrary to popular belief, the light at the back of the raindrop does not undergo total internal reflection; however, light that emerges from the back of the raindrop does not create a rainbow between the observer and the Sun. The spectra emitted from the back of the raindrop do not have a maximum of intensity, as the other visible rainbows do, and thus the colours blend together and do not form a rainbow.\n\nA rainbow does not actually exist at a location in the sky, but rather is an optical phenomenon whose apparent position depends on the observer's location. All raindrops refract and reflect the sunlight in the same way, but only the light from some raindrops reaches the observer's eye. These raindrops are perceived to constitute the rainbow by that observer. The position of a rainbow in the sky is always in the opposite direction of the Sun with respect to the observer, and the interior is always slightly brighter than the exterior. The bow is centred on the shadow of the obser

Ordinary white light, like that from the sun, is made up of many different colors all of which have a different wavelength.  Normally, when we see light from the sun, it appears colorless.  However, Isaac Newton discovered in 1666 that when he passed regular sunlight through a prism (basically, a triangular piece of glass), the prism would split the light up into a band of colors. \n\nThe band of colors is called the spectrum which appears in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. \n\nWhen it rains, the air is filled with raindrops.  These raindrops act like a prism.  If sunlight passes through the raindrops at the proper angle it is split into its spectrum, which is made up of the colors of the rainbow. \n\nYou can make your own rainbow at home by filling a plastic box with water and placing it near a sunny window.  If the wall next to the window isn’t white, place a piece of white paper next to the window.  Next, place a mirror inside the box of water facing the window.  The mirror needs to be tilted towards the sunlight.  The wedge of water in the front of the mirror acts as the prism and the mirror reflects and image of a rainbow on your wall

A full moon can form a rainbow - usually called a "moonbow". It looks kind of grey though.

just mix 'em up  , if you give me the name of 'all ' the colours , i will tell you how to make them\n\nI guess you mean primary colours (= base colours)\nthese are yellow red and blue\n\nyellow and red will make orange\nyellow and blue will make green\nred and blue will make purple\nyellow , red and blue will make brown\nmix them up in different proportions to get all the other colours
