    In a very few cases, a moonbow, or night-time rainbow, can be seen on strongly-moonlit nights. As human visual perception for color in low light is poor, moonbows are perceived to be white.

    Cumberland Falls, a North American waterfall located in southeast Kentucky, is advertised to have a "moonbow".

    • I saw a rainbow last night in Volcano National Park, HI. Moon is so bright here, that there was full color.
