What's up with ROY G BIV? (encore)

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages - A podcast by Kyle Wood

This is an encore presentation of my very first Fun Fact Friday mini episode. This week's Fun Fact is that the ROY G BIV model of a rainbow is somewhat arbitrary. The only reason people slip indigo between blue and violet is because Sir Isaac Newton wanted to have seven colors in order to match the musical scale. If you are interested in learning more about color or the other elements of art, check out my other show, Art Smart which is available on all the major podcast apps.
