In Montessori Pedagogy it is used to classify colors and sizes. The rainbow is a self-correcting element, this means that you will tend to place it in the right place through trial and error, favoring characteristics as important as independence and self-esteem. In Waldorf Education, the rainbow is associated with Goethe's theory of colors. His 1810 book is essential reference material for understanding the variables of the color phenomenon and its application.
