# Indigo will be joining them soon
It's not a colour, it's a shade. Only included in the rainbow because simpletons think that 7 is full of woo.

And H wasn't even considered to be a proper letter by some until the 19th century, so can probably join too.

# I can't remember what programme it was
but my kids were watching some (probably American) kids programme on Netflix at the weekend and they were banging on about rainbows and they only had six colours. Indigo was the one that got dropped, so maybe the Septics only have six coloured rainbows in the same way that their billions, pints and currency are smaller than here.

# The UK doesn't use the old "long scale" billion any more
Not since 1974 officially, and decades before that in reality.
