[[Everything's Better Withwith Rainbows|Rainbows are awesome.]] They're bright, attractive and optimistic, so it's no wonder that artists will frequently bring a splash of [[Incredibly Lame Pun|color]] to whatever they're creating by adding a rainbow.
 
It's commonly held that [[Rainbow Motif|rainbows have seven colors]]. However, a number of reasons - simplistic art style, limited palette, low graphics resolution - mean that it's not always practical for an artist to include all seven.

== Video Games ==
* The rainbow bridges featured in ''[[Bubble Bobble (Video Game)|Bubble Bobble]]'' sequel ''[[Rainbow Islands]]'' are Type 1 in the arcade and Type 2 on the NES.
* ''[[Sumaga]]'' has a rainbow motif, but only red, blue and yellow are represented. Though ''Sumaga Special'' adds in purple and green.
* The rainbow Kirby paints across the sky in the ending of ''[[Kirby]]'s Dream Land 2'' is a Type 2 red-blue-yellow.

== Western Animation ==
* ''[[The Magic School Bus (Literature)|The Magic School Bus]]'' episode about rainbows reduced it to six colors, dropping indigo as usual. Violet was kept as violet, however, and the distinction between purple and violet was even the subject of a [[Running Gag]].
* ''[[My Little Pony (Franchise)|My Little Pony]]'':
** In [[My Little Pony G 3 (Animation)|G3]]'s ''[http://www.hubworld.com/watch/610729115001 The Runaway Rainbow]'', rainbows only have four colors: pink, purple, yellow, and blue.
** ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'':
*** Rainbow Dash has only six distinct colors in her mane, and when she performs the sonic rainboom, the rainbow she trails is likewise a Type 1 Rainbow Lite. Her cutie mark features a Type 2 Blue in the shape of a lightning bolt.
*** [[All There in Thethe Script|Rainbowshine]] and a few other background ponies have Type 2 Rainbow Lite cutie marks, the bottom two colors being yellow and orange and the top color being either blue or purple. The purple-topped version is also one of the available cutie marks in the [[Virtual Paper Doll]] [[Web Games]] ''[http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic/games/mlp-adventures-in-ponyville Adventures in Ponyville]'', ''[http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/play/details.cfm?R=68F8E88B-5056-900B-10A0-B21B8444076B:en_US Rarity]'', ''[http://www.hubworld.com/my-little-pony/shows/friendship-is-magic/games/mlpfim-ponymaker The Fabulous PonyMaker]'', and ''[http://royalwedding.hosting-hasbro.com/fashion.html Rarity's Bridal Boutique]''.
*** [[God-Created Canon Foreigner|Toy line exclusive ponies]] Rainbow Flash, Island Rainbow, and Rainbow Wishes all have cutie marks featuring Rainbow Lites.
