PHOTOS: Spectacular rainbow, sunset and sunrise emerge after SoCal storm
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- "After the rain comes the rainbow," as the saying goes.
This week's storm brought much needed rain to Southern California. The aftermath also brought out a display of colors, from the bright rainbow that followed after the dark clouds and rain dissipated to the vivid red and orange hues of the sunset over the Pacific Coast.
Check out these breathtaking photos of the rainbow and sunset that followed after this week's rainstorm.

Whether the sunset (or sunrise) appears pink and purple or more red and orange depends on the amount of particulates in the atmosphere. Here's why the colors of sunsets in Southern California vary each night.
