Instructions: White light is made up of many colors. Prisms split white light into the individual colors. We call the colors white light splits into, "Roy. G. Biv", to remember the order of the colors. Thousands of raindrops in the atmosphere can act as natural prisms, splitting light into colors to make rainbows.

Use only red, yellow, and blue paint to make a rainbow colored in the order of ROYGBIV. Mix red and yellow to make orange. Mix yellow and blue to make green. Mix red and blue to make purple (violet). Mix blue and purple to make indigo.
