La canción se ha utilizado para enseñar a los niños nombres de colores. [1] [2] A pesar del nombre de la canción, dos de los siete colores mencionados ("rojo y amarillo y rosa y verde, violeta y naranja y azul") - rosa y violeta - no son en realidad un color del arco iris ( es decir, no son colores espectrales , el rosa es una variación de tono y el púrpura es la interpretación del cerebro humano de la mezcla de rojo / azul [ver línea de púrpuras ]). Tampoco se presentan en orden del espectro de luz visible . [3]
