What is Rainbow Color?

Rainbow colors refer to the spectrum of colors that appear in a rainbow, typically represented as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet (often remembered by the acronym "ROYGBIV"). These colors form when white light is refracted through water droplets, creating a beautiful natural display of the visible color spectrum.
