* [[Freudian Excuse]] - It is revealed in the episode "Mom" that when Murky was an infant, he loved colors, and he expressed this by coloring on the walls.

* [[Never Say Die]]: Inverted in the movie when Rainbow explains why she has to go to Spectra:
{{quote| "Don't you understand? Spring will never come again if something happens to Spectra. I've never been there, but it's part of me. It's part of the colors and the joy that we bring, and if Spectra dies, happiness everywhere will die. Without the light of life, we'll all...all of us will die."}}
* [[Not -So -Harmless Villain]]: Murky has his moments, such as when he captured and tortured Moonglo with light. In the same episode he nearly killed Rainbow by pushing her into a pit.
* [[Not Quite Flight]]: Starlite can gallop on rainbows as if on solid ground, but he still needs Rainbow to create them for him. Inverted in the movie with ON-X, a robot horse who can actually fly.

* [[Painting the Frost On Windows|Painting The Colors On Leaves]]- The basic point of the show.

* [[Rainbow Motif]]: The Color Kids.
* [[Remember the New Guy]] - Stormy, Moonglo and Tickled Pink show up in episode 4 with absolutely no explanation. In the same episode, Starlite looks at Murky's [[Paper -Thin Disguise]] and muses, "I thought I knew all the Colour Kids."
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]] - According to an offhand remark in an early episode, possibly everyone in Rainbowland, and definitely Murky at least.

* [[Tsundere]] - Stormy, arguably.
* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]] / [[Vitriolic Best Buds]] - While Rainbow Brite isn't a princess, her and Krys' initial relationship bordered on the former trope in [[The Movie]], with Rainbow as a [[Tsundere]] and Krys as a [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]. It was more like the latter for the most part until they become [[True Companions]].
* [[World-Healing Wave]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] - Most of the cast, Rainbow and LaLa being exceptions.
