Roy G. Biv
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.
All the Roy G. Biv mnemonics follow the tradition of including the colour indigo between blue and violet. Newton originally (1672) named only five primary colours: red, yellow, green, blue and violet. Only later did he introduce orange and indigo, giving seven colours by analogy to the number of notes in a musical scale.[25] Some sources now omit indigo, because it is a tertiary colour and partly due to the poor ability of humans to distinguish colours in the blue portion of the visual spectrum.[26]
There is also some evidence that Newton's use of the terms blue and indigo map to the modern hues cyan and blue respectively.
Since rainbows are composed of a nearly continuous spectrum, different people, most notably across different cultures[who?], identify different numbers of colours in rainbows.

Not the answer i was looking for, but i'll accept it because i can't find mine on google anywhere. I found it in a book when i was researching rainbows for physics. Allegedly, violet was originally added because without it there were six colors in the rainbow, and the number 6 is the devil's number. Since things were so heavily influenced by the church, they were able to forcefully add violet to make the number of colors seven instead of six, which was a holy number instead of demonic.
