  1. Red
  2. Orange
  3. Yellow
  4. Green
  5. Blue
  6. Indigo
  7. Violet

You can remember these colors using the acronym ROYGBIV. The arrangement of the colors in a rainbow is the result of the dispersion of light, where different wavelengths of light bend at different angles when passing through water droplets in the atmosphere.
