Rainbow is always something beautiful and positive. This is one of the symbols of happiness, I think. And colors are an important part of it!
Радуга - rainbow
We have one useful phrase to learn the colors of the rainbow: “Каждый охотник желает знать, где сидит фазан.” - Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant is sitting.
- Каждый - Красный - Red
- охотник - оранжевый - orange
- желает - жёлтый - yellow
- знать - зелёный - green
- где - голубой - light blue (like old mom jeans)
- сидит - синий - dark blue
- фазан - фиолетовый - violet

In fact the rainbow consists of a huge number of colors, but the human eye can distinguish these basic 7 colors.
