Rainbow of Spin Tops

I am sadly lacking in purple spin tops.  Had to throw in the finger spinners to fill in.  Must be time to paint another TG, this time all purple.

Wonderful photo, Renee!

Yes, great idea! I love it!  8)

Technically, what you need is violet at the end of the rainbow (purple is a mixture of red and blue, which don't mix in a rainbow).
If you want to include black and white tops, the black would go before the red (outside edge of the primary rainbow, the so-called "Alexander's dark band") and the white after the violet (inside edge of the rainbow). In my novel I named each chapter after a color of the conventional 7 color rainbow, with the prologue named Franja Negra and the epilogue Franja Blanca  :D

Technically, what you need at the end of the rainbow is a pot of gold. >:D

I can relate! My Leprechaun friends are quite adamant about the pot of gold. But personally, I'd accept a pot of tops. Or a pot of LEGO, which isn't that far behind gold in price per ounce these days.
