What is the correct order of the colours of the spectrum?

Answer 1

From longest to shortest wavelength, the colors are:

red orange yellow green blue indigo violet

The mnemonic is Roy G. Biv (also Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain)

Answer 2

A few of the benchmarks along the way from longest

to shortest visible wavelength are:

• red
• orange
• yellow
• green
• blue
• indigo
• violet.

There are millions of other colors in between those.

Answer 3

to remember this think of Roy G Biv. red orange yellow green blue indigo violet.

Answer 4

in order of decreasing energy:

violet - 380-450 nm

blue - 450-495 nm

green - 495-570 nm

yellow - 570-590 nm

orange - 590-620 nm

red - 620-750 nm

Answer 5

The spectrum is in order by energy, or inversely in order by wavelength.

Answer 6

Ordered from least energy to most energy in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, there is: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Answer 7

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
