Rainbow vibes! Oh, this is such a fun theme!! I confess, I tend to stick to muted and natural color schemes. It’s what makes me feel calm and peaceful when playing. However, pulling this guide together has tempted me to step outside my comfort zone. These items and ideas are just so joyful and cheery (which is probably why you landed on this theme). It also makes my queer heart really happy.
