eh, reddish yellow, yellow red. what I find bizarre is that we can't see color as a spectrum. Orange doesn't look higher than red, and there's nothing that makes violet look like the highest color there is. The fact is that red is less than orange, just like the A below C is less than the note C. But we can't normally see that. All we can do is use measuring devices to tell us which color has what frequency.

I looked it up and it's quite fascinating.

For us it's quite odd that people could go their whole lives without having a name for a color.
hm.. ok but where did I ask
the color orange was named after the fruit, not vice-versa.
