Rachael Roth 9/13/2021Updated 9/22/2021

That something is frequently a burst of color—a striking mural or a constellation of objects in many shades and hues.



We’ve gathered a few of these art installations and colorful spaces in our photo gallery. Click through for kaleidoscopic pop-ups, permanent polychrome displays and even candy-colored treats to eat—and then go check them out to find your own rainbow connection.
