Pastel Rainbow

#F8B4B4 #FBD3A6 #FFF1A8 #BDE7C1 #B5D8F5 #CDBDF2

6 colours · Light · Balanced · Warm

Six chalky pastels that keep the order of the rainbow but none of its shout. They sit well on cream paper and pale walls; pair with a dark grey for legible text.

Muted Rainbow

#C0625A #D49455 #D9C068 #7FA57A #6889A8 #8D7BA6

6 colours · Mid-tone · Balanced · Warm

Dusty brick, ochre, mustard, sage, slate blue and heather: the rainbow with grey mixed in. Grown-up enough for a brand system or a set of cushions.

Neon Rainbow

#14121F #FF2D6F #FF9F1C #FFE14D #3DFF8F #26C6FF #B45CFF

7 colours · Mid-tone · Vivid · Warm

Glowing pink, orange, lemon, mint, cyan and violet on a near-black base. Made for night events, music posters and screens; keep it off large printed areas.

Rainbow on White

#FFFFFF #F2545B #F7B32B #3CBC8D #2E86DE #8E5CD9

6 colours · Mid-tone · Vivid · Cool

Five clean mid-tone hues on pure white, evenly weighted so no single colour takes over. A tidy choice for interface accents, icons and category labels.

Warm to Cool Arc

#D7263D #F46036 #F9C80E #1B998B #2E294E

5 colours · Mid-tone · Vivid · Warm

A short arc from crimson through orange and sunflower to teal and a deep indigo anchor. Five colours give the rainbow feeling with a strong dark for text.

Kids’ Room Rainbow

#F7F3EA #EF6F6C #F6B656 #8CCB8A #5DADE2 #A28BD4

6 colours · Mid-tone · Balanced · Mixed

A warm off-white wall colour with five softened brights for one feature wall, shelves or a painted stripe. Bright enough to be fun, calm enough to live with.

Even Rainbow

#F07F77 #E09036 #B9A624 #67BB6B #00BDB6 #2EB1EF #9499FA #D084D5

8 colours · Mid-tone · Vivid · Cool

Eight hues at the same perceived lightness, so the colours change without any one looking heavier. Good for patterns and backgrounds; not for charts, where people need lightness differences.

Deep Rainbow

#8E1B2E #B4531A #B88A12 #1F6B3A #1C4E80 #4B2A73

6 colours · Dark · Vivid · Warm

Garnet, rust, old gold, bottle green, sapphire and aubergine. A jewel-toned rainbow for evening events, packaging and darker rooms.

Candy Rainbow

#FF5E8A #FF9E5E #FFD84D #6EE7A8 #5EC8FF #A78BFA

6 colours · Light · Vivid · Mixed

Bright but creamy: bubblegum, apricot, lemon, mint, sky and lilac. Sweeter than the classic rainbow and brighter than pastels, for party invitations and stickers.

Ways to use these colours

Posters and social graphics

Use the brightest rainbow on a white or very dark ground and give each colour its own shape, so nothing relies on colour alone.

Children’s rooms

Keep the walls in the palette’s lightest colour and put the rainbow on one feature wall, shelves or a painted stripe at chair height.

Interfaces and charts

Rainbow sets are good for category labels. For charts, pick colours that also differ in lightness and check them in the colour-vision studio.
