it is revealed that Twink used to be red, until villain Murky Dismal threw him into The Pits, which drained him of his colors.
Starlite is Rainbow Brite’s talking, flying horse, who calls himself “the most magnificent horse in the universe.” He is white with a yellow star on his forehead, and his mane and tail are rainbow-colored.
Color Kids
The names of each Color Kid’s head Sprite is in parentheses, although several more named Sprites exist. Except where noted, each Sprite is the color of the Color Kid he or she belongs to. Sprites all look identical except for their colors, and in some cases, antennae. Regular Sprites have star antennae.
Red Butler (Romeo)
Lala Orange (OJ) (in the 2004 merchandise line, OJ’s name is Mango)
Canary Yellow (Spark)
Patty O’Green (Lucky)
Buddy Blue (Champ)
Indigo (Hammy)
Shy Violet (IQ)
Note that some sprites have different names in other regions and languages. For example, in the UK in the 1980s line, OJ’s name is Saucy, and in Spain & Mexico, Sassy. In the UK, Hammy’s name is Encore. There are also many other named and unnamed sprites in the cartoon and books.
Special Kids
Although frequently lumped in with Color Kids, there are a few residents of Rainbow Land who do not deal with colors. In the 2009 release, Tickled Pink and Moonglow join Rainbow Brite as the Sky Powers.
Stormy
Along with her non-speaking horse Skydancer, Stormy lives in the clouds and is in charge of storms, rain, and winter (her favorite season). Stormy does not apparently have a sprite, although in the episode “Invasion of Rainbow Land”, an unnamed sprite matching the color of her outfit follows her around (perhaps an indigo or violet sprite).
