Which was wedged in my brain tightly when I taught my 3 year old daughter the correct order for the visible light portion of the the rainbows when she drew them, top to bottom: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet or the name "Roy G. Biv"; which coincides with the resistor color code values from 2 through 8 (indigo skipped in the code).
AFAIK, she was the only 3 to 4 year old in her Pre-K drawing physically correct rainbows with her crayons.
