Choosing the Colors of the Rainbow

The ranks of the visible light spectrum associate a specific color to each wavelength. Starting with red at 700 nm and cycling through orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, each color has a particular energy frequency. When you color each arc accordingly, you're essentially creating a spectacle of these range of wavelengths - a compact light refraction school.
