About this coloring page
Four wide bands curve into a rainbow arch, each one closed off at the bottom, and the two ends rest on small puffy clouds. There's nothing else on the page, so the rainbow is the whole picture.
Every band is wide and fully outlined, which makes this one of the easiest pages to color neatly. It's also a natural way to practice color names and their order, one band at a time.
Color ideas
- Color the outer band red, then work inward with orange, yellow and green, following the order of a real rainbow.
- Leave the two clouds white, but add a light gray or blue line along their bottoms to make them look puffy.
- Color the narrow archway inside the smallest band a pale sky blue.
Did you know?
- A rainbow appears when sunlight shines through raindrops. To see one, the Sun needs to be behind you and the rain in front of you.
- In a rainbow, red is always on the outside of the arch and violet is on the inside.
- From an airplane, a rainbow can sometimes be seen as a full circle instead of an arch.
