| - This is what happens when you mix Color Coded for Your Convenience with Lucky Seven. Not only is a color motif used, but the specific colors involved are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. These are often identified as the colors of the rainbow. Example: The Seven Deadly Sins - Wrath, Gluttony, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Lust, Pride. Another way to think of this trope is Chromatic Arrangement plus four extra colors.

| - This is what happens when you mix Color Coded for Your Convenience with Lucky Seven. Not only is a color motif used, but the specific colors involved are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. These are often identified as the colors of the rainbow. This trope was started by Isaac Newton, who really wanted there to be exactly seven colors to match the number of musical notes, the number of planets (then) known to be in our solar system, and days of the week. Isaac was wrong about this one, but since he was such a famous scientist, the belief that the visible light spectrum could be separated into exactly seven parts was widely held for a long time. This gave rise to the popular mnemonic "Roy G. Biv", a person's name constructed from the first letter of each color in order. Another mnemonic, more popular in Britain, is "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain". Indigo is generally considered the odd man out among the seven, due to it simply being a dark blue. If the creator needs a few more colors to round out the cast, black and white are common additions. Alternatively, some creators opt to branch out into the non-visible parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as infrared and ultraviolet. Curiously, cyan is missing, creating a conspicuous gap between the primaries green and blue, while indigo and violet replace magenta between red and blue . For printing inks and finer art, cyan, magenta, and yellow are the primary colors. Example: The Seven Deadly Sins - Wrath, Gluttony, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Lust, Pride. Another way to think of this trope is Chromatic Arrangement plus four extra colors. Examples of Rainbow Motif include:
