I'm upset that you're snubbing my man Roy G. Biv like that. :P
14 u/Phoenix2211 20d ago Vi B. Gyor is a far better man than Roy G. Big can ever hope to be. [It's interesting cuz apparently students in America learned ROYGBIV, meanwhile I (and other kids in India) learned it as VIBGYOR] 21 u/saeljfkklhen 20d ago Yeah, it's the same thing, just a different orientation. And that's pretty cool. 8 u/Phoenix2211 20d ago Oh I knew that, was just wondering WHY the difference exists Maybe because Roy is a Western name, so teachers in the West figured it'd be easier for kids to remember it as ROYgbiv. 5 u/AlexandriasNSFWAcc 19d ago The red is at the top in the rainbow. We tend to draw/colour/write things top-down. I don't think it's anything beyond that, really. Some people reverse the order when you're sorting the e.m. spectrum by frequency later in your schooling. 2 u/LivingAnomoly 19d ago In the West we read/write left to right, some regions read/write right to left.
