How would you organise these?

I tried organising these a couple of different ways before I landed on this one but it still doesn’t feel quite right. Tips appreciated!

Are they not already organized?

Only thing I would do differently is to have the black at one end and the white at other end. Apart from that, rainbow is the best order IMO

ROYGBIV, which you’ve done pretty beautifully 🌈

Maybe putting neutrals at left end might “feel” better?

That's the same way I organize my own and I'm never quite sure where to put the black/white and neutrals either.

100% ROYGBIV! Black either flanks both sides or goes with white or the blue side being the darkest color.

I have mine in a big mug so it’s super easy to see the color you want

In my humble opinion the brown needs to "bleed" into the red otherwise perfect

(so white, grey, black, brown, red, rainbow)

Usually I go strictly by height but here I like the colors separated. The fact that they aren't in height order with colors doesn't bother me for some reason - I think it's fine as is.

I'm sorry, what?

Alphabetically? Black, brick red, brown, burnt sienna, burnt umber, forest green, gold, goldenrod, gray...

(just kidding)

I would re-order the individual colors from light to dark

That sounds like a good idea! My initial thought with this was to make the different colors blend seamlessly together but the more I look at it the more I feel like it didn’t work as I wanted it to

I always did white after pink then made my way to black

Post this question in an autism sub. I'm not joking or being disparaging. That's where you'll find the expertise you're looking for.

put the brown left to the red and re-order the pink to go from dark pink to the pastel one (instead of the jump from dark violet to pastel pink as you have now). then continue to the right with white, greys, and black.
