This phenomenon has a special name among specialists. Pink rainbow gets when occurs in the last rays. As a result, the rainbow and the sky around it painted in a delicate shade of "Flamingo".

We can admire the rainbow due to the dispersion of light in water droplets — because of the refraction of light decomposed into several colors. Pink hue during sunset comes from the fact that the rays of the sun approaching the horizon must pass through more dense layers of the atmosphere. To penetrate through this layer can only the longest light waves — orange-red. That is why sunsets which we can observe, always in shades of these colors.
