Confusion of Colours

What colour am I?
Am I red, like the ruby in a ring?
Or orange, burning bright, flickering from the fire?

What colour am I?
Am I yellow, sour as a lemon, piercing my tongue?
Or green, envying the beauty of others around?

What colour am I?
Am I blue, sunken deep into the ocean?
Or purple, reigning above all?

I am not just one,
and I need a REALLY good pun
for you to understand what I am.

For I am rare.
I come with rain and shine.
Maybe now you know my name.

Because I am happiness and joy.
I am hope and faith.
I am all. I am rainbow.
