Question

Why isn't the color brown in the rainbow?

Answer 1

cause brown is borin to me but i think it is sorta pretty

Answer 2

look up "rainbow" on wikipedia.  the other answers here have frustrated me too much to answer this myself.

Answer 3

I'm not sure exactly but i think that most people find it offensive and ugly. As for myself, i love it and it's one of my fave colours so why not add it to the rainbow.

Answer 4

brown is a mix of equal parts of red and blue colors. a rainbow is :red,orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. all other colors are blends of these colors in assorted proportions.

Answer 5

Good question!  I think only primary colors make up the rainbow I think it looks nice

Answer 6

I think brown is only created by mixing colors that are not adjacent to each other in the spectrum or in a rainbow. I think to make brown, you need to mix colors that are on opposite sides of the color wheel.

Answer 7

That's a good question.  I've always wondered why white, black and brown were not in the rainbow.  I think it might be because they are not bright and stand-out colors like the ones in the rainbow.  Or maybe just because kids don't like those colors as much.  Or do you mean the natural rainbows in the sky?

Answer 8

George Bush does not want that color in his weather machine.
