One of the rainbows a player may find while searching for Rainbow strands.

Gilbert's Colours was an event that took place in Old School RuneScape as a promotion of LGBT inclusivity.

Players started the event by speaking to Gilbert, a leprechaun found in the Lumbridge Castle courtyard. Gilbert would request the player to gather six strands of colours from rainbows found throughout Gielinor. Each colour represents a specific meaning based on the rainbow flag in real-life.

Once the player gives Gilbert all six strands, he rewarded players with the rainbow scarf.
