What Is a Rainbow?
A rainbow is a colorful arc that can appear in the sky when sunlight shines through water droplets after rain. As the light bends, it separates into different colors and creates the beautiful rainbow we see.
Rainbows are a fun way to talk with kids about weather, color, and nature before they start coloring.
What Are the Colors of the Rainbow?
The colors of the rainbow, in order, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
A simple way to remember the order is ROYGBIV:
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Green
- Blue
- Indigo
- Violet
Kids can color their rainbow in the correct order or use any colors they like. That is what makes these rainbow coloring pages so fun!
