Re^4: How many colors does a rainbow have?

You don't even need to make that exception. They named it after its spectral lines, not because it looked 'indigo'.

I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.

I thought indigo was named for the plant of the same name. (Or did I miss the point?)

Certainly it was. But that doesn't mean that indigo dye actually looks like the same color as the "indigo" part of the spectrum. I should disclaim my claimers by noting that I'm only responding to the things folks have written, taken at face value, without doing any kind of fact-checking. They (and I) might well be completely wrong. :-)	[reply]
