ROYLGTCABV

Uhh I was thinking about the rainbow and how it shouldn’t be ROYGBIV cause Issac Newton randomly decided it should be 7 and then found that scientists now use ROYGCBV and I tried to make a new rainbow with just the primary and secondary colors RYGCBM but Magenta isn’t in the rainbow (cause it’s a mix of high and low nm wavelength light) so that leaves RYGCB but then it looked stupid without orange so I wanted tertiary colors so I added them to get ROYLGTCABV (There isn’t one past Red because it drops off a cliff toward infrared but there is a color past blue as it goes to ultraviolet: violet) Red, Orange, Yellow, Lime, Green, Teal, Cyan, Azure, Blue, Violet.

I still think it looks stupid. I think it’s because our red and green cones are right next to each other and blue is farther away so because of that we have a higher range of distinct colors in the red-green area than blue. (Useful for telling ripe fruit from foliage. We and primates got it as a mutation on the X chromosome and evolution must’ve made us keep it cause it turned out to be useful) So I think to make it even better it needs to not be halfway and quarter between red green and blue but weighted toward the red/green side. Very random thinking on this Saturday lol but that’s why it was in my clipboard.
