Red And Orange And Yellow

After the fascinating differences in animal sounds and 'Do, re, mi', other cultural differences and similarities have been popping up.

The colours of the rainbow are pretty much the same, except for one main difference.

English --- Japanese (Translation)

Red ------ Aka (Red)
Orange -- Orenji (Orange)
Yellow --- Kiiro (Yellow)
Green ---- Midori (Green)
Blue ------ Ao (Blue)
Indigo ---- Ao Murasaki (Blue Purple)
Violet ----- Murasaki (Purple)

Aka and Kiiro and AoMurasaki and Midori, Orenji and Murasaki and Ao, I can sing a rainbow too. Doesn't work quite so well does it?
