Vikerkaarevärvideks
Vikerkaarevärvideks, a term originating from Estonian, translates directly to "rainbow colors." It refers to the spectrum of colors that are observed when white light is dispersed, typically by a prism or water droplets in the atmosphere. This phenomenon creates the familiar arc of colors we call a rainbow. The standard order of these colors is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The specific wavelengths of light determine the color perceived by the human eye. Red light has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest. The perception of these colors is a result of how our eyes and brains interpret the different wavelengths of light. The term "vikerkaarevärvideks" encompasses this entire sequence and the concept of the visible light spectrum as it appears in nature's most spectacular display. It is a descriptive term used in Estonian to refer to this universally recognized natural phenomenon.
