All six original rainbow colours — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet — as a declaration of visibility and the right to exist fully.
The rainbow flag, designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978, was a deliberate choice of the full spectrum as a symbol of diversity and inclusion. Each stripe was originally assigned a specific meaning: life, healing, sunlight, nature, harmony, spirit. The palette has evolved over the decades — additional stripes have been added to acknowledge specific communities — but the core rainbow remains one of the most globally recognised symbols of the twentieth century. It is a palette that refuses reduction: every colour present, no colour dominant.
