So? am I being a science snob if a guest designer (who is a professor) doesn't know the order of colors in a rainbow? Am I being a complete dick for thinking he's a moron if he is a LIGHTING person, teaching at the local university and doesn't know the colors of the rainbow? And we were wondered why during God's deal with man after the flood, why his "bow" looked all blah with greens and blues. "Where are the red, yellow, violet colors?" "Oh, I can ad some of those". Then just mishmashed them all together. Have you never seen a prism? white light to rainbow? Dude you are old enough to have seen the album cover for Dark Side Of The Moon!

(clearly I am tired, and so over this show. I think I may not go to opening on Tuesday. I'd rather sleep.)
I still stumble over sepulcher wrong. I mean, not that I say it often.
I long for a world in which people casually drop "sepulcher" into conversation.

Naw, man. KIDS know Roy G. Biv; a lighting dude has no excuse.
Is he maybe color blind?

Seriously, he has no defense against this.
I was told recently that there was no more indigo in the rainbow... that it has gone the way of pluto!
I mourned the loss of indigo.
I always thought indigo was only there for the vowel anyway. Kinda like violet's bf that the crew doesn't really like but he's always willing to be the designated driver.
I learned it as red orange yellow green blue purple. Well, for paint, anyway. I think I learned it with indigo and violet when we were learning about light waves in physics.

REALLY????
I mourn the loss of indigo.
I rejoice! I dance upon its grave!
I mean, it's a lovely word and a delightful shade, but I never understood what the hell it was DOING there in the rainbow, logically - I mean, if indigo gets to muscle in along with the primary and secondary colours, why not burnt umber, or crimson, or turquoise? Made no sense to me!
My only guess was that it was to make
Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain
work properly for schoolkids back in the day, and some random Victorian had decided to include it for the vowel.
dances the dance of sense-making

Cross post with amych! Only she said it so much better!
Well, then he misunderstood, because indigo and sea foam green were about the only two colors he had for the first week.
Is he maybe color blind?
Funny you should ask that. I was having similiar thoughts. With all the drama of the bible. Creation. The heavens. The earth. Water. Land. And then the banishing from Eden. The tempest that floods everywhere. Hell, just the killing of Abel. Not much in color. It's a pretty basic white/amber type of light plot, as far as this simple sound guy can see. I was thinking as Cain feels slighted, his blood pressure rising, maybe some red in the background, slowly growing until he starts trying to kill his brother? Maybe after they eat the fruit, some purple or magenta storm clouds kind of color. Nope. Just darker. I think he is primarily a Lighting person for dance, so his stuff his white light, and let the bodies & costumes do all the work. It's not all that impressive. God did a better job with one big light in the sky, if you ask me.
I bow to your superior arguments. Indigo is no Pluto.
