Siyo kadlakayade!
The first time I ran into indigo in the rainbow was on
a children's science programme on public TV--They made
an acrostic mnemonic, a made-up name of Roy G. Biv to
remember the order of the colours in the spectrum.
But at the time I suspected that they slipped in
indigo to make it pronounceable, because I couldn't
justify it with my crayon box.  I considered
"blue-violet" to be indigo, and it was much darker
than the "violet".
