I find it interesting that it rains red sometimes. Which is from water mixing with red particles. Than how come we can not have other colors of rain. Purple rain or orange rain would be nice. When it rains red some people think the red rain is blood and they get scared. I wonder what they would do if it did rain purple or orange. Some people even think it is the end of the world when it rains red. What would they think it it was rainbow rain and rained all different colors. That would be a pretty sight don't you think.

I'd love to see different colored rain. I never have. I've seen red mud, though. Nature is a lovely thing to contemplate.

@jstory07 I am fortunate to have a good sized lot. I have been putting in habitat plants- I have two currant shrubs now. They bloom lovely dangling pink flowers that hummingbirds love. I might get another one.

Mostly we get ordinary rain, but every now and again it goes yellow after a sandstorm in the Sahara

@jstory07 I keep a large dish of water outside for the garden visitors. When it goes yellow I need to change it

@jstory07 The red rain stains when it comes here, it's full of red sand from the Sahara desert, it makes a mess.

I have heard of red rain, but at this point in time, I’d take any rain, colored or not colored. It’s been so dry in Florida and we’ve had fire warnings.

I've heard of red or orange rain from sand being carried on the wind from north Africa across Europe. I guess there isn't any blue or purple sand available.

What about rainbow sand that it could rain rainbow colors.

@jstory07 Don't you think all the different grains would just get mixed up in the wind and just result in brown rain?

I've never seen colored rain in Missouri. It would be interesting to see rain coming down in rainbows, though.

Usually, when you see a "blood rain", then red or brown (iron) dust is mixing with the rain clouds high above in the atmosphere. The red dust comes from the Sahara desert or could be coming from red/brown dust from one of the deserts in the US before falling again here. (Most of the time red rain is seen in Europe, not in the US.) You've been really lucky if you've seen "blood rain".

I have not heard about a red coloured rain. Why is it in red? I hope to see a rainbow colour rain.
