Type anything and watch it turn into rainbow text, then copy it in the format your platform actually understands: colored text for Discord, color codes for Minecraft, BBCode for forums, HTML or a CSS gradient for websites, or emoji for Instagram and TikTok bios.

The ␛ symbol stands for an invisible escape character. Use Copy rather than retyping the Discord block, or the colors won't work.
Rainbow text is text in which each letter or word is a different color of the rainbow, usually running red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. It’s popular for usernames, server announcements, forum signatures, Pride posts and anything that should stand out.
Text itself has no color, so how you make it depends on where it goes. Discord reads color codes in special code blocks, Minecraft uses § and & codes, forums use BBCode and websites use HTML. Bios and captions only hold plain text, so there the rainbow has to come from colored emoji.
Type your text
Enter a name, bio line or message. The preview colors it as you type, on a dark or light background.
Choose colors and a pattern
Pick one of 5 palettes, color each letter or each word, and repeat the colors or stretch them into one smooth gradient.
Copy the format for your platform
Copy the Discord block, Minecraft codes, BBCode, HTML, CSS or emoji version, or all 10 at once.
Which format to copy for each app and game.
| Where | Format to copy | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Discord messages (desktop and web) | Discord colored text | Paste the whole block, including the ```ansi lines. |
| Discord on phones, bios and nicknames | Emoji rainbow | Plain text only. Name colors come from server roles. |
| Instagram, TikTok, X and Threads bios | Emoji rainbow or frame | Plain text only, so color has to come from emoji. |
| WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, Snapchat | Emoji rainbow | Messages don't support colored letters. |
| Minecraft Java server chat | Minecraft & codes | Needs a chat plugin such as EssentialsX and color permission. |
| Minecraft server MOTD | Minecraft § codes | In server.properties, write § as \u00A7. |
| Minecraft Bedrock | Minecraft § codes | Works in chat, on signs and in item names. |
| Minecraft Java commands | Minecraft /tellraw (hex) | Java 1.16+ with cheats. Over 256 characters, use a command block. |
| Paper and Velocity servers | MiniMessage (hex) | For plugins, MOTD and chat formats that read MiniMessage. |
| Forums | BBCode | phpBB, XenForo, MyBB and vBulletin support [color]. |
| Websites, blogs and email | HTML or CSS gradient text | Use HTML for email; gradient text needs a modern browser. |

Discord and Minecraft codes only offer a fixed set of colors, so this is the closest match for each rainbow color. They are the codes the generator uses.

Discord’s text colors are 30 gray, 31 red, 32 green, 33 yellow, 34 blue, 35 pink, 36 cyan and 37 white. Minecraft has 16 legacy colors from §0 black to §f white; Java Edition 1.16 added any hex color through JSON text, which the /tellraw format uses.
A rainbow is sunlight split by raindrops. Each drop bends, reflects and bends the light again, and because every wavelength bends by a slightly different amount, white light fans out into colors. These are the approximate wavelength ranges for each color.
| Color | Wavelength |
|---|---|
| Red | about 625 to 750 nm |
| Orange | about 590 to 625 nm |
| Yellow | about 565 to 590 nm |
| Green | about 500 to 565 nm |
| Cyan | about 485 to 500 nm |
| Blue | about 450 to 485 nm |
| Violet | about 380 to 450 nm |
The familiar seven colors, ROYGBIV, come from Isaac Newton. In his lectures of 1670 to 1672 he named five colors, and in Opticks (1704) he split the spectrum into seven “after the manner of a musical chord”, adding orange and indigo to match the seven notes of a scale. The spectrum has no real borders, which is why modern tables often list cyan and drop indigo.
The rainbow pride flag, designed by Gilbert Baker for San Francisco’s Gay Freedom Day on June 25, 1978, had eight stripes, including hot pink and turquoise. By 1979 both were gone, leaving the six stripes most flags use today: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.
The emoji rainbow and frame use these characters. Older phones may not show the newest ones.
