Opened this, but the trope is not to my knowledge a character trope.

It is not a Character Trope, look at Sonic The Hedgehog's Chaos Emeralds.
However the image is really plain and I think could be much better and this trope is about the 7 colors of the traditional rainbow not the entire spectrum with the occasional switching up of 1 or 2 colors.

Characters are irrelevant, but both suggestions are a huge improvement.

For an example coming from a work, there's always the Rainbooms logo: [1]

@3: Even if not a character trope, it probably still needs to signify something in the story and not just "rainbows". I like 3.1 best of your suggestion.
I like 3.2 the most - awesome imagery, that one.

No, the other one.
Is it important that there are seven colours? That seems to be the case looking at the examples.
I don't think the Zelda suggestion (3.2) is even an example, since it's just a collection of six distinct colours unrelated to the trope.
3.1 and 3.3 both work, though, and I prefer 3.1 considering the added rainbow motif on their helmets.
"Not a character trope" in this case means "not specifically a character trope" since it can still very well apply to characters.

Check out my fanfiction!
You got me there. 1.2 or 5.2 then.

1.2 or any of the suggestions in 3 are good.
"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."
The opinions seem a bit all over the place for this one, so a crowner will be needed.

Hi
Bump for votes....although this one's looking pretty decisive already.
Hi
Calling this one; can someone please upload and add the winner? Thanks in advance.
Caption or no?
'We are the Prism Rangers' ?
No caption consensus here, evidently; locking this one.

Nominations for replacement images:
I'm not sure a strip of rainbow colour spectrum is an illustration of this trope. This is a subtrope of Color-Coded Characters, so wouldn't it be better to show the characters as well?
