Answer 4

It is generally accepted that there are seven colours in a rainbow: Violet, Indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. I remember the order from the word"Vibgyor"

Answer 5

That's kind of like asking how many stairs there are on a hill.  

Colors (or colours) are thought of as distinct steps by the Crayola factory, and they would claim that there are only 100 of them (if you can afford the big box).  Your computer manufacturer would tell you your monitor with 24 bit color has 16 million possible colors (and it uses millions of these to display a rainbow).  In reality, there are an infinite spread of colors on a spectrum (rainbow), but some people assign steps to them so that we can deal with them finitely.  Back to my analogy, you can put steps on a hill, but you don't have to, and if you do, the number is completely up to you.
