	I agree too - there should be seven colors.

	Color scientists typically divide the light spectrum at about 450 nm between violet and blue, disregarding indigo as a color. Besides, everyone knows it's just a dark blue, anyway.

	Poor oft forgotten violet and orange!

	Indigo is a myth created by Isaac Newton who believed in the mystic properties of the number 7 and did not believe that God whold have created a color spectrum that had only 6 colors.

	Way too easy...But I like that I finally got 6/6!

	I typed in both "indigo" and "violet," and neither was accepted. I typed in "purple" and 'violet' lit up on the rainbow. :(

	I learned there was seven because of ROY G. BIV

	How is it possible for someone not to get 100% ROY G BIV

	chambers:	Jan 17th, 2009 at 23:46 GMT	4 points
	still not 100% even for the most guesed. i guess some people decide they cant be bothered with such simplicity. or forget the timer's on and leave the computer

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum#Spectral_colors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo "Although traditionally considered one of seven divisions of the optical spectrum, modern color scientists do not usually recognize indigo as a separate division and generally classify wavelengths shorter than about 450 nm as violet."

	Please add the blue. This should give the game a higher rating...

	erikw8:	Mar 19th, 2009 at 01:47 GMT	-4 points
	Is there anyway that this game could get any easier?

	Forbsey:	Mar 23rd, 2009 at 22:45 GMT	1 point
	maybe the blue was taken away because they thought it harmful like the blue smarties many years ago

	madmonkey:	Mar 28th, 2009 at 08:43 GMT	-3 points
	Even my chemistry teacher taught us about the color spectrum, Roy G. Biv. There should be blue!

	The Snakes:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 03:29 GMT	-3 points
	Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue.

	Todd1952SF:	Apr 4th, 2009 at 06:13 GMT	2 points
	I'm sorry, but if you're going to leave out one of the colors included in the mnemonic device "Roy G. Biv," it should be indigo that's left out and not blue. There is some argument about whether indigo is one of the colors of the spectrum, but none about blue!

	yankeeland:	Apr 4th, 2009 at 22:45 GMT	-3 points
	that was the hardest quiz ever

	juusosieni:	Apr 5th, 2009 at 14:02 GMT	-1 points
	:D I can't believe 0,1 % didn't get red.
