**There are a few exceptions. Wisp has a couple of panty shots in the Beginning of Rainbowland (the most anime-like of all RB material.) Also, in Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer, there's a very brief upskirt when Rainbow dodges away from the Glitterbot who saw through her attempt to act hypnotized. (Though in all fairness this may be an animation error, as what is under the skirt is precisely the same color as the skirt itself.)

Rainbow Brite (real name: Wisp) is a young girl who helps to bring color to the world, accompanied by the seven Color Kids, Twink the sprite, and Rainbow's horse, Starlite.
Rainbow Brite and her allies frequently have to deal with the schemes of Murky Dismal, a short, mustachioed villain who, along with his oafish henchman Lurky, tries to make all of Rainbowland as dark and gloomy as his lair in The Pits.
The franchise was initially adapted as a series of 5 TV specials in that aired during a syndication week. This was followed by a feature-length film, which in turn was followed a 13 episode TV series.
Quite prominent in {{DeviantART}}, where most of the fan art features Rainbow Brite as a scene kid or an {{animesque}} MagicalGirl.
----
!!Tropes:
* AllYourColorsCombined
* {{Animesque}}
* {{Blooper}} - In the first episode of the TV series, we see that Murky and Lurky have captured Lala Orange, Indigo and Buddy Blue. When Wisp and her group rescue them, Buddy's been switched with Patty O'Green, who had actually been rescued earlier.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan - Wisp, alias Rainbow Brite.
* CoolHorse - Starlite certainly thinks he is. Actually, every horse in the show is a CoolHorse.
** Ask any girl who watched this while she was growing up, and she will insist that Starlite is the Most Magnificent Horse in the Universe.
* CosmicKeystone - the Sphere of Light. FridgeBrilliance when you realize it's Rainbow Land's sun.
* CrapsackWorld - Rainbowland before Wisp arrived.
* DarkerAndEdgier - Sure, TheMovie starts with a nice and cheerful song about spring and waking up and being energetic and the first 15 minutes or so go on just like any other ''Rainbow Brite'' episode... and then the robot horse arrives and the cheerfulness goes right out the window not to be seen until the very end. And believe me, it does get dark before that.
** This, however, made it [[RuleOfCool awesome]].
** There's also ''"The Beginning of Rainbowland Part 1 and 2"'' which showed that Rainbowland had been a DeathWorld before Wisp brought color into it.
* DeathByDespair - A late spring results in mass depression for the Earth in TheMovie.
* TheEighties - Just look at the wardrobe, dude...
* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses - [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in TheMovie. The [[BigBad Dark Princess]] is a [[SpoiledBrat spoiled]] [[RoyalBrat Robber-Baron]] [[VainSorceress sorceress]] who wants to shanghai [[CosmicKeystone Spectra]], a star-sized diamond without which [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the cosmos]] [[ApocalypseHow will wither and die]]. Oh, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking she also uses her]] [[CompanionCube (lifeless) pet gemstone]] [[KickTheDog as ship fuel]] [[IfICantHaveYou when things don't]] [[TakingYouWithMe go her way]]...
* FreudianExcuse - It is revealed in the episode "Mom" that when Murky was an infant, he loved colors, and he expressed this by coloring on the walls. This angered his mother, who told him, "You're going to get rid of ''every bit'' of that color if it takes you ''all'' day, if takes you the ''rest of your life''."

* TheMovie - "''Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer''"
** And a lesser-known LiveActionAdaptation, shown [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofRF5vpFpl0 here]].
* NeverSayDie: Inverted in the movie when Rainbow explains why she has to go to Spectra:
--> "Don't you understand? Spring will never come again if something happens to Spectra. I've never been there, but it's part of me. It's part of the colors and the joy that we bring, and if Spectra dies, happiness everywhere will die. Without the light of life, we'll all...all of us will die."
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Murky has his moments, such as when he captured and tortured Moonglo with light. In the same episode he nearly killed Rainbow by pushing her into a pit.
* NotQuiteFlight: Starlite can gallop on rainbows as if on solid ground, but he still needs Rainbow to create them for him. Inverted in the movie with ON-X, a robot horse who can actually fly.
* OffModel - Indigo's skin in ''"The Beginning of Rainbowland"'' is light in one scene.
* [[PaintingTheFrostOnWindows Painting The Colors On Leaves]]- The basic point of the show.
* ParentalBonus - The name of Color Kid [[GoneWithTheWind Red Butler]], Murky mixing a potion in a cocktail shaker and pouring it into a martini glass, etc. Double as LateToThePunchline moments for some viewers.

Rainbow Brite (real name: Wisp) is a young girl who helps to bring color to the world, accompanied by the seven Color Kids, Twink the sprite, and Rainbow's horse, Starlite.
Rainbow Brite and her allies frequently have to deal with the schemes of Murky Dismal, a short, mustachioed villain who, along with his oafish henchman Lurky, tries to make all of Rainbowland as dark and gloomy as his lair in The Pits.
The franchise was initially adapted as a series of 5 TV specials in that aired during a syndication week. This was followed by a feature-length film, which in turn was followed a 13 episode TV series.
Quite prominent in {{DeviantART}}, where most of the fan art features Rainbow Brite as a scene kid or an {{animesque}} MagicalGirl.

!!Tropes:
* AllYourColorsCombined
* {{Animesque}}
* {{Blooper}} - In the first episode of the TV series, we see that Murky and Lurky have captured Lala Orange, Indigo and Buddy Blue. When Wisp and her group rescue them, Buddy's been switched with Patty O'Green, who had actually been rescued earlier.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan - Wisp, alias Rainbow Brite.
* CoolHorse - Starlite certainly thinks he is. Actually, every horse in the show is a CoolHorse.
** Ask any girl who watched this while she was growing up, and she will insist that Starlite is the Most Magnificent Horse in the Universe.
* CosmicKeystone - the Sphere of Light. FridgeBrilliance when you realize it's Rainbow Land's sun.
* CrapsackWorld - Rainbowland before Wisp arrived.
* DarkerAndEdgier - Sure, TheMovie starts with a nice and cheerful song about spring and waking up and being energetic and the first 15 minutes or so go on just like any other ''Rainbow Brite'' episode... and then the robot horse arrives and the cheerfulness goes right out the window not to be seen until the very end. And believe me, it does get dark before that.
** This, however, made it [[RuleOfCool awesome]].
** There's also ''"The Beginning of Rainbowland Part 1 and 2"'' which showed that Rainbowland had been a DeathWorld before Wisp brought color into it.
* DeathByDespair - A late spring results in mass depression for the Earth in TheMovie.
* TheEighties - Just look at the wardrobe, dude...
* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses - [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in TheMovie. The [[BigBad Dark Princess]] is a [[SpoiledBrat spoiled]] [[RoyalBrat Robber-Baron]] [[VainSorceress sorceress]] who wants to shanghai [[CosmicKeystone Spectra]], a star-sized diamond without which [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the cosmos]] [[ApocalypseHow will wither and die]]. Oh, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking she also uses her]] [[CompanionCube (lifeless) pet gemstone]] [[KickTheDog as ship fuel]] [[IfICantHaveYou when things don't]] [[TakingYouWithMe go her way]]...
* FreudianExcuse - It is revealed in the episode "Mom" that when Murky was an infant, he loved colors, and he expressed this by coloring on the walls. This angered his mother, who told him, "You're going to get rid of ''every bit'' of that color if it takes you ''all'' day, if takes you the ''rest of your life''."
* GirlinessUpgrade- The new doll series.
* GirlishPigtails - All the girls in Rainbow Land, except for the short-haired Canary Yellow and Lala Orange.
* HairOfGold - Rainbow Brite herself
* HappinessInSlavery - The Sprites
* HeartwarmingOrphan - Wisp, the girl who would become Rainbow Brite.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes - The only part of the show to get DVD treatment was the movie back in 2004. It has since gone out of print (again; the DVD release came long after the VHS release went OOP)
* LiveActionAdaptation - "''Rainbow Brite: San Diego Zoo Adventure''"
* MacGuffinGirl - The baby in the origin episode, who is actually the [[spoiler:Sphere of Light]].
* MerchandiseDriven: And how!
* {{Meganekko}} - Shy Violet
* MiniDressOfPower
* MinionWithAnFInEvil - Lurky
* MonaMarshall - Voiced Red Butler.
* {{Mordor}} - The Pits
* TheMovie - "''Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer''"
** And a lesser-known LiveActionAdaptation, shown [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofRF5vpFpl0 here]].
* NeverSayDie: Inverted in the movie when Rainbow explains why she has to go to Spectra:
--> "Don't you understand? Spring will never come again if something happens to Spectra. I've never been there, but it's part of me. It's part of the colors and the joy that we bring, and if Spectra dies, happiness everywhere will die. Without the light of life, we'll all...all of us will die."
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Murky has his moments, such as when he captured and tortured Moonglo with light. In the same episode he nearly killed Rainbow by pushing her into a pit.
* NotQuiteFlight: Starlite can gallop on rainbows as if on solid ground, but he still needs Rainbow to create them for him. Inverted in the movie with ON-X, a robot horse who can actually fly.
* OffModel - Indigo's skin in ''"The Beginning of Rainbowland"'' is light in one scene.
* [[PaintingTheFrostOnWindows Painting The Colors On Leaves]]- The basic point of the show.
* ParentalBonus - The name of Color Kid [[GoneWithTheWind Red Butler]], Murky mixing a potion in a cocktail shaker and pouring it into a martini glass, etc. Double as LateToThePunchline moments for some viewers.
* PeterCullen - Yes, that's [[{{Series/TheTransformers}} Optimus Prime]] himself voicing Murky Dismal.
* {{Premiseville}} - The franchise is set in Rainbow Land, with the movie involving [[MeaningfulName Spectra]] the diamond planet.
* RainbowMotif: The Color Kids.
* RememberTheNewGuy - Stormy, Moonglo and Tickled Pink show up in episode 4 with absolutely no explanation. In the same episode, Starlite looks at Murky's PaperThinDisguise and muses, "I thought I knew all the Colour Kids."
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld - According to an offhand remark in an early episode, possibly everyone in Rainbowland, and definitely Murky at least.
* ShrinkingViolet - Shy Violet.
* SpringIsLate - In ''Star Stealer.''
* SugarBowl - Which does not preclude the occasional threat of a SugarApocalypse.
* TokenMinority - Indigo is [[strike: black]] East Indian.
* {{Tsundere}} - Stormy, arguably.
* WellExcuseMePrincess / VitriolicBestBuds - While Rainbow Brite isn't a princess, her and Krys' initial relationship bordered on the former trope in TheMovie, with Rainbow as a {{Tsundere}} and Krys as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. It was more like the latter for the most part until they become TrueCompanions.
* {{World-Healing Wave}}
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair - Most of the cast, Rainbow and [=LaLa=] being exceptions.
