About rainbow color palettes

Discover 376 rainbow colour palettes ordered by hue for clear spectrum storytelling. Full-wheel sets help charts, stickers, festivals and kids products stay vivid yet organised.

Keep steps even so no band looks skipped. Rainbow works best when each hue shares similar saturation and mid lightness.

Assign hues in wheel order for legends and progress states so readers can track sequence. Equalise saturation so yellow does not outshine blue. For interfaces, let rainbow accents sit on a neutral stage; using every hue at full strength on every panel quickly becomes noise.
