1.1’s ayt, coming out of a cat’s hands makes it look random and gratuitous.

1.2 is similar to what’s on Colorful Contrails

I think we’re all missing an obvious example, if nobody thinks it too obvious (or already in use):

3.2 > 3.1 > 8 [tup]

[joking] Can we keep the topic going a few more pages with suggestions? I find all the suggestions very amusing & therapeutic. waiismile [/joking]

3.1 is cute, but I'm going with 3.2 just for the coolness factor (and the fact that Skittles is very much affiliated with rainbows).

Kaito is an alien and he is kinda spacey, coming from the universe to party and go crazy!

I actually really like 3.3, but 8 or 3.2 would probably be better for the page (I just think 3.3 is fun to look at lol)

It's worth remembering that the trope is about several depictions of rainbows beyond symbolism, like as a bridge between sky and land, a signal of the supernatural etc., not just any rainbows. I think the suggested images run the risk of making this trope look like "rainbows exist". Granted, the current image does even less to avoid that impression.

^I thought this trope was about gratuitous rainbows because of the "everything is better than x" snowclone title but apparently it's rainbows as symbols, rainbows as a power/supernatural force. However, the trope also includes regular rainbows (gratuitous or not) in the example list. It probably needs further discussion on trope talk or TRS.

Well, there's always the Bifrost.

22.1 I believe this is from Strange Academy. https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/better_with_rainbows_bifrost_0.png
22.2 This is from Thor.

[up][up]Those are some pretty great images, but I think they are similar to the one in Ride the Rainbow (which might be a subtrope of sorts).
