I remember organising the colours of the rainbow in columns. In the way that I did, I could create the word RAINBOW from certain letters in each word, indicated by the columns they were each placed in. However, I forgot how it worked, and I can only remember four colours in each of their position — I don't know which position each of the other three colours belong to. I have marked those remaining positions that the colours need to go in, with hyphens of a quantity matching to the number of letters in its neighbouring colour of the same column.
Red ------ Green
Indigo Orange -----
------
Which colour of the remaining three goes in which position to achieve the word RAINBOW in the way previously described?
No hints! You have been given more than one ;)

This is a bit more difficult for us non-native English speakers, who haven't been indoctrinated into believing that there are only a small integer number of distinct colours in the continuous spectrum of visible light. :-)

@Bass Oh, sorry! I meant the seven main clearly-clear-and-visible colours of the rainbow (ROYGBIV, as I've been taught). I don't mean to indoctrinate... I think that might be a strong word... but I guess this riddle can be externally misleading, I would say, hence I apologise to the non-native English speakers.

This feels a bit underdetermined to me, probably meaning that I'm missing some hidden hints that nail things down further. But here's one thing we can do, which meets the explicitly given requirements:
Red viOlet greeN
Indigo orAnge yelloW
Blue
where we take
the first letter of things in the left column, the third letter of things in the middle column, and the last letter of things in the right column, yielding RIB/OA/NW which anagrams to RAINBOW.

You and @GarethMcCaughan I swear how do you find these so quickly?! I spent about $40$ minutes trying to come up with a reasonably difficult puzzle which I thought was this, and then you guys solve it in what, $40$ seconds??? xD

(The fact that we ended up with the same answer makes me think maybe it's less underdetermined than I feared.)

This is a bit more difficult for us non-native English speakers, who haven't been indoctrinated into believing that there are only a small integer number of distinct colours in the continuous spectrum of visible light. :-)

@Bass Oh, sorry! I meant the seven main clearly-clear-and-visible colours of the rainbow (ROYGBIV, as I've been taught). I don't mean to indoctrinate... I think that might be a strong word... but I guess this riddle can be externally misleading, I would say, hence I apologise to the non-native English speakers.
