Nothing really is real. It is all actually an illusion. We think just because matter and energy looks "real" because we can see, touch, and experience it makes it real, but that doesn't directly translate to it being actually real. It's only as "real" as the electric and chemical signals in your body tell you it is. The real "real" is a place we can't get to right now, but you are really there right now, at the same time, but you can't know it. -

We think matter and energy looks real because we can see, touch, and experience it makes it real, therefore it is real. Your senses tell you it's real. The real real is a place we are right now, and you are really there right now, at the same time, and you know it.

But really colour is all in your mind it's just your brains way of interpreting light at specific wavelengths, objects are not coloured in reality. A rainbow is just an optical illusion it doesn't physically exist "out there" it's all in your mind.

Actually, they’re just reflections of light, or something like that, that appear in the sky. They are puuuurty though.

Thus, a rainbow is not an object and cannot be physically approached. Indeed, it is impossible for an observer to see a rainbow from water droplets at any angle other than the customary one of 42 degrees from the direction opposite the light source. Even if an observer sees another observer who seems "under" or "at the end of" a rainbow, the second observer will see a different rainbow—farther off—at the same angle as seen by the first observer.

before we can even begin to seriously argue whether rainbow is or is not real ....
we need first determine what is ' a rainbow '.
can you define rainbow pls ???
