Rainbow Challenge 2021!

February 25th, 2021
Evening all,

It’s that time of the year again!

It’s time to hit ‘upload’ on your last few monochromes for a while and join us in flooding 365 with ALL the colours for the Rainbow Challenge 😊

This challenge is loads of fun, and I look forward to it every year – if you’ve joined in before, you know how it goes; and if you haven’t, it goes like this:

The challenge lasts for the 31 days of March. Each day of the week corresponds to a colour of the rainbow – Mondays are red, Tuesdays are orange, Wednesdays are yellow etc. See the images below for the days and their colours.





Why have I posted two different grids? Because some people like to do purple and pink for Saturday and Sunday, and others prefer to stick with indigo and violet.
Most folk find it easiest to line the colours up vertically like in the example, but feel free to go horizontal or diagonal if you like.

Tag your images rainbow2021 and when we start posting them on March 1st, you’ll be able to see them HERE

The links below will show you our previous year’s finished calendars and discussion threads so that you can find out more about the challenge, get some ideas and see how it all works.

I’ve used the tag list from previous years, apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone. There are no weekly prompts, but if you’d like a notification when the thread for the finished calendars is posted at the end of March – drop a comment below and I’ll add you to the list.

Looking forward to all the colour 😊

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Yes, I will lay this year. You?
February 25th, 2021
@mona65 I think remember the support you gave each other last year not to do it!! Yes I'm, planning to play
February 25th, 2021
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Oh yeah, you are right,...now I recall that I had this bet with Northy @northy that we are not playing. Hmmm, I do not remember if this was only for 2020 or a lifetime bet. Maybe I now have to send a box of Swiss chocolate over the big pond. ;-)

I love the way this challenge follows FOR. It’s a great reset for the brain and the eyes. Thank you for doing this again this year!

February 26th, 2021
Thanks Mel, great to do this again!
February 26th, 2021
Thanks for the reminder! This has been so fun the last couple of years. Still deciding whether or not to commit this year but it's always a great challenge.
February 26th, 2021
Thanks Mel, count me in 👍
February 26th, 2021
I love this challenge, and it's always one of my favorites. I'm going to have to do it differently this year though - I'll have to wait for April. Love doing it with flowers, and we're definitely late this year - not even a bud anywhere (including the garden centers). I'll get inspiration from yours and be a month behind.

February 27th, 2021
