R, Y and B are the primaries; O, G, V are the secondaries made by mixing the adjacent primaries. If you bend ROYGBV into a circle, the B and R make the V... etc.
Good luck. I've always loved the "rainbow order"!

Went back & typed "rainbow" into the search on this forum and found this neat one.

I'm currently saving colors of fabric to make a rainbow quilt. I bought dunbar's (did I get your name right?) pattern for Diamond Log Cabin Stars. On the back of the pattern is a picture of the quilt done in rainbow colors. I think it's breathtaking and I can't wait to get started on it. I still have more fabrics to collect first. Good luck and can't wait to see pictures.

Andy Williams sang a song:
Red, and yellow, and pink and green, purple and orange and blue .... I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, too ...
Listen with your eyes
Listen with your eyes
and sing everything you see ...
you can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing along with me!
Red, and yellow, and pink, and green ... purple and orange and blue ....

I'm going to lay these as the width of the lap blanket I think and add some super wide borders.
