Before Isaac Newton came on the scene, people believed that the rainbow comprises of three colours; red, blue and yellow. Through his famous prism experiment, Newton demonstrated that color is intrinsic to light. He also divided the spectrum into seven colours giving us ROYGBIV. We now know that the spectrum consists of more than just those seven colours. Turns out, there wasn’t any particular scientific reason he chose the number seven, it was just his idosyncracy; he thought it made more sense that way!

In these days of dependence on Google for research and knowledge seeking, and stories going instantly viral, it makes sense to recollect what the Buddha said more than 2500 years ago.
