Through the Rainbow

A row of seven clear laboratory cuvettes filled with glowing liquids, arranged to form a rainbow spectrum against a pitch-black background. From left to right, the liquids transition through vibrant shades of royal blue, cyan, emerald green, lime green, bright yellow, orange-red, and deep magenta. Each container is illuminated from within, casting a sharp, colorful glow that makes the chemicals look like a neon light display.
