Actually it's the other way round: mostly nigredo in alchemy, as it's by far largest part, and in physics he literally invented the rainbow.

He didn't "invent" the rainbow. He stole it from God.

That's intellectual property, copying is no theft when credit is given, and sure he did give all the due credit to God and them some more.
