Why is there no pink in the rainbow?

Question

Why is there no pink in the rainbow?

Answer 1

There isn't any pink in a rainbow because pink isn't a primary color.

It's a combination of red (a primary color) being diluted with white a (shade).

Answer 2

Pink is white and red.  The white is disrupted by the refraction, so there's none there to make pink.

The primary colors are RGB; the secondary colors are Y, cyan, and magenta; the tertiary colors are OV; then there's I as a quaternary color (along with red-orange, yellow-orange, maroon, etc.)  As for why there's ROYGBIV, those are just the colors somebody had an easy name for, not that those are the only colors in a continuum.

Answer 3

Because there's no white  =P

Answer 4

The colours in the rainbow are not "primary colours." They are the monochromatic colours. Pink is not a monochromatic colour. There is no single wavelength of light that is perceived by the eye as pink.

there are only the primary colours in the spectrum of light, which is white, thus there is no pink
