ROYGBIV equivalent in other languages

I am wondering if there are equivalents to the United States ROYGBIV in other languages. I know there is a British version (Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain), but do other countries have an acronym for the color spectrum?

Thank you.

(This is the very first thing I have ever posted. Hope I am going about it correctly.)

In Germany, there's no acronym (why use an acronym that's harder to pronounce than 'color spectrum', anyway?), but there *is* a phrase to remember them by:

I must admit I never knew that before I googled for it - I know the color circle, and I know the spectrum starts in red (near infrared) and ends at violet (near ultraviolet) and goes around the circle in-between.

You're doing fine, although you might consider signing your posts - like this:

In India, it's VIBGYOR

Not bad!!

In Hindi, it is BeJaaNeeHaPeeNaaLa

Richard of York gave battle in vain is mnemonic not an acronym. It's for the order of the colours in a rainbow (colour spectrum). It's like 'My very earnest Mother jokingly sent us new pants' for the planets!

Phil. Ps. My first post also!!

Dunno if your interested, but we Brits also have memory jogger for the Great Lakes; Some Men Hate Eating Onions

'Homes' might be easier to remember.

That's easier than the word 'HOMES?'

Not easier, but it lists them west to east, which HOMES doesn't.

No shit, Sherlock.

But why do the Brits even care about the Great Lakes?

I'm surprised no one's mentioned how Electrical Engineers memorize the color coding on resistors: Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly

I'm afraid your post is more correct than mine. I guess it's very doubtful that 21st-century engineering schools still use *that* mnemonic.
