Rainbow motif illustration

CROSS-CULTURAL · NATURE

Rainbow

What it means: A light spectrum; diversity and hope are editorial metaphors.

The UK Met Office explains that sunlight refracting and reflecting in water droplets creates a rainbow. Its spectrum is continuous, not naturally divided into seven bands; three arcs here are a simplified monochrome illustration.

Often chosen for: Family, home & belonging · New beginnings & hope · Luck, joy & celebration · Curiosity, creativity & wonder

Respectful use: To represent a specific community, use its recognized design and explanation. Do not treat an identity-bearing flag palette as neutral decoration.
