** Rainbow Road, the final course in every ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' game, is just a big, long rainbow that you drive on. It even makes appearances in ''VideoGame/FZero X'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2''.

* The rainbow (specifically, the Rainbow Flag) is used most widely in the Western world as a symbol of gay pride.

-->'''Man:''' Doctor, I think I might be a homosexual!Sa
'''Doctor:''' How can you tell?\\
'''Man:''' ''(proceeds to barf rainbows on doctor)'' RAINBOWS!

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'''s Ho-Oh is said to glow of all seven colors and only appears to remarkable trainers. When it shows up in the ''[[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]]'' animé for the first time, it's after Pikachu saves Ash (which was the very first episode that appeared [[EarlyBirdCameo before Ho-Oh appears in its own games]]). Ho-Oh shows up again a few times later as a {{Homage}} to Ash's EstablishingCharacterMoment to WalkTheEarth and ToBeAMaster.

* '' VideoGame/{{Fairune}} 2'' has a rainbow over a waterfall in the Green Fields. [[spoiler: It indicates the entrance to Dramos Cave.]]

* Karolina Dean of the ''Comicbook/{{Runaways}}'' turns glittery and rainbow-colored when her powers are activated, and she can fire projectiles and make shields of the same color.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Project'': Hong Meiling has a lot of her attacks based on rainbows. As does Kaguya, Tree-Ocean of Hourai and End of Imperishable Night "Morning Mist", especially.

* In ''[[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Banjo-Tooie]]'', one puzzle in Cloudcuckooland involves creating a rainbow by conjuring up a rain shower. The Pot o' Gold is at its end.

* In the ''Yume Tsukai'' manga, the author invoke that, in Japanese culture, rainbows used to be seen as unnatural distressing phenomena at best and as bad omens as worst, and that the optimistic connotations were brought only recently. Then this symbolism is milked for all its worth by using rainbows to symbolize the doomed relationship of the first seen client of the Yume Tsukai and [[spoiler:the unnatural, girly-looking boy who serves to channel the EldritchAbomination who wanted to took over the school and the world]].

* The Flag of Krypton in UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}} Franchise/{{Superman}} stories.

** The Apple family also occasionally harvests magical Zap Apples that only appear under certain rare weather conditions and are rainbow patterned when they ripen.

* ''Art/OniEmbodiments'': A staple of Creator/TakashiMurakami's work, the sculptures are covered in bright, psychedelic coloring. Their eyes, teeth, and the platform they stand on feature a wide range of saturated colors.
