I always learned “ROYGBIV” as the colors of the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, violet.

What’s up with the last two? Isn’t indigo basically just dark blue? Why is it violet and not purple? Can’t it just be “ROYGBP”?

    In Czech it’s red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, violet/purple (we have the same word for both).

    Edit: Violent -> Violet
