Plot

Rainbow Rangers takes place in the magical land of Kaleidoscopia and focuses on the adventures of seven 9-year-old girls—Rosie Redd, Mandarin Orange, Anna Banana, Pepper Mintz, Bonnie Blueberry, Indigo Allfruit, and Lavender LaViolette—who are all represented by the colors of the rainbow. Each use their own powers to help protect the citizens of their land, clean the planet, and make the world a better place.

Each episode begins with a problem with nature seen on Earth. A rainbow is sent to Kaleidoscopia and Kalia calls all seven rangers and Floof to her. After they are shown the nature problem, Kalia chooses the three ideal rangers for the mission, Floof always joins the three on their scooters. When the mission is completed, the three rangers return to Kaleidoscopia on their scooters.

• Pepper Mintz (voiced by Phillipa Alexander) is a shy, introverted bookworm who loves to read. She represents the color Green, and possesses Inviso Power.
• Bonnie "B.B." Blueberry (voiced by Zehra Jane Naqvi) is analytical and smart. She always says that things are logical or illogical. She represents the color Blue, and possesses Vision Power.

• Lavender LaViolette (voiced by Penelope Rawlins) is a fashionista. She represents the color Violet, and possesses Micro Power.
• Floof (voiced by Phillipa Alexander) is the Rangers' pet Prismacorn (according to B.B.). He accompanies them on their mission and helps out by using his magical horn. There is a running gag where Floof comes out of his door in a surprising or funny way.
• Kalia (voiced by Phillipa Alexander) is the leader of Kaleidoscopia and when she sees trouble in the world she calls the rangers to the rescue.

Villains

• Preston Praxton (voiced by Dan Russell) is the Rangers' main antagonist. A greedy entrepreneur, he schemes with no regard for any environmental impact, causing the Rangers to try and stop him. He has an endless supply of booby traps to keep the Rangers from interfering with his business.
• Patty Praxton (voiced by Zehra Jane Naqvi) is Preston's daughter, and while she does take after her money-loving father, she often serves as his voice of reason, and is on friendlier terms with the Rangers.
• Priscilla Praxton (voiced by Dan Russell) debuts in season 2 as Preston's sister, who often competes with him to win Patty's affection and take down the Rangers. She tends to have more feminine schemes such as creating luxury makeup lines or creating glass from sand.

Production

In September 2016, Genius Brands announced that they were partnering with The Lion King and Flypaper director Rob Minkoff and Frozen writer Shane Morris on their new Rainbow Rangers series. The show premiered on Nick Jr. on November 5, 2018.

Early designs had the Rangers looking much more stylized than their finalized versions, with minor variations in their powers and personalities, and the original villain was Acrimonia, Kalia's jealous younger sister, instead of Preston Praxton.

Nickelodeon has gained broadcast rights in the United States and Caribbean Basin regions. On April 23, 2019, it was announced that Nickelodeon would also be bringing the show to Latin America.

When the COVID-19 pandemic began to take effect, a special episode of the show was commissioned, "Bunny-20," that streamed online on December 18, 2020, with Pierce Brosnan as a guest voice actor. The episode's goal was to teach young children about ways to keep safe during the pandemic and make it understandable to viewers.
