Each of the original eight colours represented an idea: pink for sexuality, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sun, green for nature, blue for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit. Before becoming synonymous with fabulous pride movements, the rainbow flag has stood for many social movements.

A rainbow in the salty spray of an ocean wave will appear at a slightly lower angle than a freshwater rainbow. A secondary rainbow forms when light enters nearer the bottom of the drop and then reflects twice internally, converging at 51 degrees. Theoretically, even more concurrent rainbows are possible at more angles with more reflections within the drop. But every reflection dims the beam, as some of the light passes through to the outside of the drop instead, so any tertiary and quaternary bows are almost always invisible. The most mesmerising aspect of the rainbow — the vivid array of colours — continued to baffle until Newton revealed that sunlight is made of every colour at once, through his famous work with prisms. The refraction of light as it enters and leaves a raindrop not only concentrates the light at certain angles but also separates, or disperses, the light into its constituent colours because refraction varies with wavelength. Longer wavelengths, closer to the red end of the spectrum, have lower indices of refraction, meaning they bend less at the air-water interface and reach our eyes at higher angles. Meanwhile, shorter wavelengths, closer to the violet end of the spectrum, have higher indices of refraction, meaning they bend farther down at broader angles as they return to our eyes. So, red appears at 42 degrees while violet appears at 40 degrees. In a secondary bow, the relationship between wavelength and final angle is reversed, producing an upside-down version of the first rainbow with red at 51 degrees and violet at 55 degrees. But a rainbow can only reflect the light it has to work with. Bows that arise during sunrise or sunset, when scattering has removed most of the blue light, are almost entirely red, and bows in moonlight, called moonbows, will often appear colourless, not because moonlight lacks the full spectrum but because the faint reflected light is far too dim to activate the colour receptors in our eyes. On rare occasions, a few extra, narrow arcs of colour nestle along the curve of the main rainbow. These extra bands, called supernumerary bows, come from light beams reflecting at different angles to reach the same place — your retinas — which means they travel slightly different distances. Beams that travel farther are able to complete an additional half phase, full phase, phase and a half, and so on. This discrepancy puts some beams out of sync and some beams in sync, causing them to cancel each other out or reinforce each other. Thus, brightness alternates with emptiness. Supernumerary bows are easiest to produce with a misting hose, whose drops are very similar in size.
