Rainbow Bracelet Beads  - Did you know?

In the mythology of the ancient Greeks, rainbows were the personification of the goddess Iris. This goddess was a messenger between Heaven and Earth, hence the representation of how the rainbow hangs between the two. In Homer's epic the Iliad, Iris was a winged creature who specifically served as the messenger of Zeus.

Rainbows represent love and acceptance.

Who would've thought that 7 drastically different colors could come together and make something so beautiful? Well, that very thought makes rainbows a universal symbol of love, diversity, and acceptance.

The colours you see when a rainbow appears are the result of light being split into its various individual wavelengths.

This gives us a spectrum of colours that range from the shorter blue and violet wavelengths through to the longer red wavelengths.

Who discovered the rainbow?

The Greek philosopher Aristotle first started musing about rainbows and their colors back in 350 BC. His ideas were picked up and elaborated upon by the Roman philosopher Seneca the Younger in his Book 1 of Naturales Quaestiones around 65 AD. Senaca was surprisingly ahead of his time in his reasoning, even predicting the discovery of the prism effect by Newton centuries later.

Throughout the ages, thinkers, philosophers and naturalists examined the phenomenon of the rainbow effect, noting its appearance not just in the sky but in other circumstances too.

But in every case, two elements were essential for that characteristic burst of color, water vapor or droplets and sunlight. Finally, Isaac Newton proved that white light is made up of a spectrum of colors by splitting light with a prism. His discovery, together with the work of others before him, finally explained how rainbows form.

He also noted that the sequence of the colors of a rainbow never changed, always running in the same order. He coined the idea that there are seven colors in a spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (ROYGBIV). It is said that he actually only observed five colors, but added orange and indigo, to align the number of colors with the number of notes in the musical scale.

Most modern definitions of the spectrum of visible light exclude indigo, merging it into the ranges of shades of blue and violet.

The colours of a rainbow

The idea that there are seven colours in the rainbow still lasts to this day. At a glance, you might think this to be true, but closer inspection of a rainbow shows that there are far more than just seven individual hues.

A rainbow is not a pure spectrum. It is actually made up of a myriad of individual spectral colors that have overlapped and mixed.

The basic sequence for primary rainbows is always the same running from:

Red (the longest wavelength at around 780 nm) through to Violet (the shortest wavelength in the sequence at 380 nm).

The seven color idea is still a popular one and it helps remember the order of the most recognizable colors in a rainbow. However, remember that there is also a whole range of colors, so many that we cannot distinguish them all with the naked eye
