Red = 625 to 760 nm
Orange = 585 to 620 nm
Yellow = 565 to 590 nm
Green = 520 to 570 nm
Blue = 440 to 490 nm
Indigo = 420 to 440 nm
Violet = 380 to 420 nm
These are approximate wavelengths for the visible spectrum in nanometers (notice how some values overlap). Taken from Wikipedia.

Jared is almost right, the only thing is "Indigo" isn't really considered in the spectrum. I know they teach you ROY G BIV in grade school, but its simply not correct. The correct visible spectrum is:
Violet 380-450 nm
Blue 450-495 nm
Green 494-570 nm
Yellow 570-590 nm
Orange 590-620 nm
Red 620-750 nm
