Certainly, there is scientific explanation for the occurrence of rainbows but why does God allow these beautiful scenes to appear briefly on His canvas before our eyes? White light, when passed through a prism, breaks down into the various colors of the rainbow. Jesus Christ is the light of the world, and His light is pure and white. His light encompasses all of the righteous elements we can strive for in this life. Each of the values in the Young Women’s theme is represented by a color. As we strive to develop these values, represented by rainbow colors, we grow closer to the Savior, the source of pure, white light. White represents faith, blue–divine nature, red–individual worth, green–knowledge, orange–choice and accountability, yellow–good works, purple–integrity, and gold–virtue. Why rainbows? All things denote there is a God, and the rainbow is no exception.
