What color is the rain?

Answer 1

All these answer seem to come from literalists...I see rain as liquid starshine, the color of nothing and of all. We have not named this color yet. I am Sirius

Answer 2

The Same Color As Water

Answer 3

Such a beautiful--and yes--spiritual question :-) The color of the rain, as with the colors of the wind, should be experienced not with the lone sense of the physical eye but with inner vision and/or all the senses.

The fine mists of the early spring come into awareness as a pale pink/peach hue, softly caressing the new life from the winter's hold.

Those welcome raindrops that splash into our world on the warm summer days are felt as a brilliant blue, carrying within each drop the tastes of summer skies.

Sitting outside as an electrical thunderstorm approaches, those first few drops strike the skin in tints of oranges and reds.

As autumn switches its energy into winter and we see nature sending a last rainfall to earth before it changes to snow, those rain drops are in the deepest of purples.

Rain is the carrier of energy, life, memories, tastes, sounds, music, laughter and so much more. All those experiences are alive and reflected within the colors of the rain.

Answer 4

It is 'spectrum colored' You can see all those colors being reflected in the droplets on the blades of grass when the sun comes out, before it dries the rain all up. I'd also say, it is the color of a diamond.

Answer 5

Clear

Answer 6

Clear but sometimes it looks blue or gray according to the sky and the area around it because of the light reflecting off the rain.

Answer 7

Answer 8

* Light arriving at an opaque surface is either reflected "specularly" (that is, in the manner of a mirror), scattered (that is, reflected with diffuse scattering), or absorbed – or some combination of these.

* Opaque objects that do not reflect specularly (which tend to have rough surfaces) have their color determined by which wavelengths of light they scatter more and which they scatter less (with the light that is not scattered being absorbed). If objects scatter all wavelengths, they appear white. If they absorb all wavelengths, they appear black.

* Opaque objects that specularly reflect light of different wavelengths with different efficiencies look like mirrors tinted with colors determined by those differences. An object that reflects some fraction of impinging light and absorbs the rest may look black but also be faintly reflective; examples are black objects coated with layers of enamel or lacquer.

* Objects that transmit light are either translucent (scattering the transmitted light) or transparent (not scattering the transmitted light). If they also absorb (or reflect) light of varying wavelengths differentially, they appear tinted with a color determined by the nature of that absorption (or that reflectance).

* Objects may emit light that they generate themselves, rather than merely reflecting or transmitting light. They may do so because of their elevated temperature (they are then said to be incandescent), as a result of certain chemical reactions (a phenomenon called chemoluminescence), or for other reasons (see the articles Phosphorescence and List of light sources).

* Objects may absorb light and then as a consequence emit light that has different properties. They are then called fluorescent (if light is emitted only while light is absorbed) or phosphorescent (if light is emitted even after light ceases to be absorbed; this term is also sometimes loosely applied to light emitted due to chemical reactions).

Answer 9

Water molecules have actually been shown to be slightly blue. So, in such a small amount, rain appears clear; but at the molecular level, it has a bluish tint.

Answer 10

Rain is water from clouds. Clouds are made of purified water. Rain is transparent, or blue, or whatever color purified water is.
