Where is my Inuit yellow post box?

Why is pink in the list? Surely it's a shade of red or does it have its own place on the spectrum?

Are we still talking about the light spectrum?

I am writing from memory. I believe that in quantum mechanics, colour have specific bands of wave length depending on the electron orbit (its not really an orbit). The electrons need to make quantum leap in order to change colour (be it the duality of light being wave & photon). The result is there are definite colours and any other "colour" is a shade or mix of the same.

I am sure that another poster knows better....

Nah.

Red is dark pink.

Only four?

Seems a bit tokenistic.

And I'd have much rather seen one dedicated to Derek Griffiths than Lenny Henry.

I saw him at the theatre 30 years ago and he was brilliant.
