I bought this shirt for my kid, and I think it’s cute and I like it, but it’s a rainbow with no purple! (Bonus pink though) why??

I added the purple links to this toy that isn’t exactly a rainbow, but has red, orange, yellow, green, and blue

Might f around and make this a thread where I rate rainbows overall:
This one is 6.5/10
-purple is the big one, which is nonstandard but I don’t mind!
-prob bc “red goes on top” matters more than comparative size; fine
-buuut the blues are ordered wrong according to me and 3yo

8.5/10
-I basically like it
-I think the slight pastel thing is done well and consistently
-I never love when the purple fully fills in the bottom like that, but 🤷🏽♀️ I see why it happens and don’t necessarily have a better idea for this toy

Backing up and rating the previous ones
1.2/10
-I hate it
-I really hate it!
-somehow the blue center part that’s not the same as the blue knob makes it even worse
-no purple
-the two yellow and two oranges make me so mad
-I did voluntarily purchase it I guess…

A recent offender! I like this toy, but whyyyy not switch out one of those oranges?

5/10
-no purple
-given no purple I think I appreciate the pink bc it tones down the orange
-embraces the chaos by switching orange and yellow is a slight positive for me
-the green and blue both seem too dark?
-gray cloud on white shirt seems a little odd IMO—kinda stormy?

Unmodified: 5/10
-no purple
-but it’s not really trying to be a rainbow, so it’s a little less offensive than usual
-fairly pleasantly consistent saturation with the red a different material and more saturated, so it works for me
With my links: 8/10
-I like what I did!

Made by a child in the park (I was assuming, but I suppose it could have been a parent actually…), one of each color, v wholesome, good shape 10/10

I get it that orange and purple are the “controversial” colors and I like purple and kinda don’t like orange, but leaving out orange is in some ways objectively worse bc of the gap between red and yellow.
6/10 I guess? The other colors are nice and well (and evenly) saturated

So this one is weird it has the “every color once but two blues” thing like the stacking toy, and there’s also a pink and also what is even up with the order of the colors. I can’t tell if it’s better or worse than a random 🎲 arrangement would be 🤷🏽♀️ 7.5/10 I guess?

is it a xylophone? in that case it would make sense since the 8th key would be the next octave up from the first

why are you looking for purple in rainbows? VIBGYOR doesn't really have a purple in it does it? Indigo is more blue register. Purple is a reddish blue you don't see in real rainbows
