As a kid I remember doing a performance at infant school where we sang the rainbow song. I have vivid memories of being "blue" and wore a huge blue cardboard hat whilst we sang the song at the front of the rest of the school in assembly. I must have been about 6! That song has stayed in my head and the colours of the rainbow were: red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue. As I got older we were taught other ways of remembering the rainbow colours...why we needed to know them I don't know!! This time I was taught: Richard (red) Of (orange) York (yellow) Gave (green) Battle (blue) In (indigo) Vain (violet). Ok, this now means that I'm a very confused school kid...one teacher taught pink and purple, the other indigo and violet! Is one aimed at infant schools and the other secondary? Anyway I've decided that indigo means the darker purple and violet is a lighter purple/pink. Confusion over and here's my indigo photo.
