History YMMV / RainbowBrite

* StockParodyJokes:
** Rainbowland being a CrapsaccharineWorld. This borders on CommonKnowledge, as in-universe Rainbowland was a dark, polluted place before Wisp/Rainbow Brite arrived.
** Everyone, not just Murky Dismal, preferred it the way it was before Rainbow Brite showed up and started spewing paint everywhere.

** Exactly who Tickled Pink is, why she wasn't in the first few episodes, why she isn't counted among the seven Colour Kids, etc. A scene where she uses yellow star sprinkles, despite this likely being an animation error, was latched upon by fans who decided that she was the Colour Kid of pastel shades, despite there not being much evidence for this. [[note]] In the original canon, she's a human just like Wisp was, and her job upon settling in Rainbow Land was running the labs which process color crystal into star sprinkles. Unfortunately, the series never got around to showing this.[[/note]] One of the reboots established she was in charge of sunrise and sunset colors.

* GodNeverSaidThat: The idea that Lurky is a mutated or deformed Sprite is more or less {{fanon}}, but every now and again you'll see this thought credited to Cheryl Cozad, who was the head of the group of artists assigned to Rainbow Brite. However, there's no proof of her saying this when discussing designing the sprites.

* TheWikiRule: Referred to as 'Wiki Brite', they are found [[https://www.rainbowbrite.net/ here]] and [[https://wiki.rainbowbrite.co.uk/index.php5?title=Main_Page here]]! Rainbow Brite.net is known specifically for the detail it goes into when transcribing the books, specials and tv episodes.

* CompleteMonster: From ''Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer'' comes the titular Star Stealer, [[BigBad the Dark Princess]], who is the most [[RoyalBrat petty]] and [[VileVillainSaccharineShow vile]] enemy that Rainbow Brite ever encountered. Motivated solely by {{greed}}, the Dark Princess enslaved innocent races to tow the diamond planet Spectra out of its foundation to her castle. Despite having been informed that this may cause entire universe to be starved of light and freeze, ensuring trillions of deaths, the Dark Princess still continues with her plan. When she was foiled, she attempts to ram her ship into Spectra and shatter it out of spite.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4YgsWrqjO0 This Podcast]] celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the franchise. Hearing about two fans in their thirties still cherishing their beloved show and still going into fannish squees about Rainbow is a testament to the power of fans to keep what they love alive.
* {{Jossed}}: (or ShrugOfGod, depending on who you are) The idea that Tickled Pink was a (slightly more) grown up baby brite or that they had a more personal connection than that of the regular color kids ended up being not true, as no books cover their specific relationship and Baby Brite is explained as a [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext manifestation of the adult, Godlike woman white light]]. However, this doesn't stop some fans from coming up with a more intricate relationship between the pair.
* PeripheryDemographic: In the 2010s the series has gained a following amongst teens and 20-something year olds due to its bright colors. People who are into retro 80s stuff, pastel colors, and "kidcore" aesthetics are often fond of the series (or at least its character designs).
