I was very surprised to find out that my own parents and my best friend did not know the colors of the rainbow. I thought that this was the first thing you would learn in preschool! Does anybody honestly not know the colors of the rainbow?

Yes...
Roy G. Biv is a popular mnemonic device used for memorizing the traditional optical spectrum:
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet
The colors are arranged in the order of decreasing wavelengths, with red being about 700 nanometers and violet being about 400 nm.
In truth, since the spectrum is a continuum, the selecting or omitting of individual colors in a list of representative colors is arbitrary. The traditional inclusion of the color indigo is attributed to Isaac Newton, who wanted the number of colors in his spectrum to come out to seven to match the number of days in the week, the number of notes in the musical scale, and the number of known planets.[1][2] He originally (1672) named only five primary colors: red, yellow, green, blue and violet; only later did he introduce orange and indigo[3]. The Munsell color system, the first formal color notation system (1905), also uses only five primaries: red, yellow, green, blue and purple.

roy g biv.. have you seen the previews for the tv show 'are you smarter than a 5th grader?'
that sounds like a question that could make it onto the show...
its a kid who is in the 5th grade against an adult (i imagine its the kids parent, but it may not be) and the host (jeff foxworthy) asks questions from a 5th grade text book.. from the previews ive seen most adults are pretty dumb...
but at the sam time, how often do you use what you were taught in the 5th grade in your life as an adult..
like do you know what a prime number is? or what the square root of 9 is.. and junk like that. things lots of adults have put out of their minds and forgotten about because of all the other every day crap we need to remember..
