You know, it always amazed me that people needed a mnemonic for the order
of colors in the spectrum.  Their order always seemed pretty intuitive
to me (e.g., what comes between red and yellow? orange of course. Would
anyone think blue?). I must be misunderstanding the context in which
mnemonics are traditionally used. Could someone enlighten me?
