Ditch the indigo!

[Mysterian]

How many people include the "colour" indigo in a rainbow? Isn't it time to ditch this absurd double blueness?

Richard Of York Grew Big Vegetables is just as easy to remember.

Vote YANBU for a less complicated rainbow!

OH remembered

guloobuoy (light blue)
ceenee (dark blue) (impossible to write as the vowel sounds doesn't have an English equivaslent)
violetnavee (purple)

or to say it properly

fee - oh - let - nah - vee (purple)

They sound so evocative.

It's a rainbow. It is the way it is, up in the sky. Leave it alone.

If this becomes a law, will my prism no longer work?

It’s purple, my favourite colour, so I’m keeping it. 🌈

YABVVVVVVVVVU. Indigo is lush! 🟣💜🟪

Me? I thought you were talking about shades of denim...

Get. A. Life.

Only there because some muppet thought 7 was better than 6.

Umm...it’s not a made up thing.

YABU. What about the Indigo Children, eh?

Will nobody think of the children?!?

I thought it was Rinse Out Your Greasy Bottles In Vim (showing my age here, I believe Vim was a type of scouring powder).

I’m all for Team Indigo, lovely colour.

Sorry OP - Indigo must stay! Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain

Just taught my 7 year old Richard of York gave battle in vain. Keep the indigo, at least until Friday when we are scheduled to do science and weather in geography and I said we could look at how rainbows are made.

Next week feel free to cancel indigo (although I’m more an artist than a scientist so can’t really reflect how scientists would feel about this position.

Is it weird that I opened this thinking it would be an environmental thing about not wearing jeans because cotton and dying takes so much water?

Just an insight into where my brain is at atm

Turns out I only have a blue and a purple sharpie so I agree with you OP. My rainbow only had 6 colours and so far no one has harangued me for the scientific inaccuracy

Richard Of York Gave Battle Vainly. Still works.

Wtf?!?!?! Really?

Isn’t number 7 the illuminati number? Just saying.

Magenta doesn't actually exist. I'm more cross over that than I am indigo.

@AllTheWhoresOfMalta you could be on to something 7 is also heavily associated with the bringing of the apocalypse 7 broken seals, 7 trumpets - we’ve also had the plague of locusts )who knew it would be bog roll and hand sanitizers not crops), I’m paying close attention to all horse riders (seem to recall something about a dragon (China?) too).

This could be it! Maybe the rainbows in windows with their 7 colours are the equivalent of lambs blood on doors.

Maybe I have too much time on my hands!

If blue chooses to identify as indigo who are you to tell them they can’t. Stop being indigoist.
