One time while visiting Denver, we saw a brilliant rainbow emerging from a red sky. I've never seen that before or since. But I do say, the Denver area being on the front range of the Rocky Mountains has some spectacular weather events, one part of the sky may be blue and cloudless while another has dark clouds with lightning shooting.

Rainbows are gorgeous. I've always hung crystals in my south-facing kitchen windows so rainbows appear on the walls during the winter months when the sun is low on the horizon. I have refused for 30+ years to replace the original, singlepane windows with insulating double pane glass because it would prevent the rainbows, and the kitchen is painted white so the rainbows are vibrant.

Yes! Some types of glass windows have a type of cut to them that makes them refract light like a stained-glass window. Always a good sight, the scintillating colors.
