\section{Introduction}
\label{intro}

The rainbow beamer colour theme will bring more colours to your presentation. It works similarly to the structure beamer colour theme, but instead of having just one theme colour throughout the whole presentation, the rainbow beamer colour theme will cycle through a list of colors and change the theme colour on every frame.

By default, it will cycle through colours of the rainbow (hence the name), but a custom set of colours is also possible.

The package is included in \TeX{}Live and MiK\TeX\ and available from \textsc{CTAN} (\url{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/beamertheme-tcolorbox}).
The development version of this package is located at \url{https://github.com/samcarter/beamertheme-rainbow}. If you have any problems, ideas or other feedback, please make constructive use of the issue tracker.

\section{Usage}

The basic usage is fairly simple. After choosing a beamer theme, one can load the rainbow beamer colour theme  via
\begin{tcolorbox}[title={Usage}]
\begin{samcode}
\usecolortheme{rainbow}
\end{samcode}
\end{tcolorbox}

This will work with most of the themes which are provided by the beamer class as well some third party themes. Notable exceptions are the \saminline|AnnArbor| and \saminline|CambridgeUS| themes.

This basic usage will colour frames in alternating rainbow colours:
\nopagebreak
\begin{tcblisting}{
  listing and comment,
  pdf comment,
  freeze pdf,
  compilable listing,
  run pdflatex,
  comment={
    \begin{tikzpicture}
      \foreach \i in {1,...,6}{%
        \node at (0.35*\i,-0.7*\i) {\includegraphics[page=\i,width=3.7cm]{beamertheme-rainbow-doc-listing-1.pdf}};
      }
    \end{tikzpicture}
  },
  title={Basic example}
}
\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme{Berkeley}
\usecolortheme{rainbow}

\begin{document}

% just for this test example
\ExplSyntaxOn
\prg_replicate:nn{6}{\frame{}}
\ExplSyntaxOff

\end{document}
\end{tcblisting}

As pretty as rainbow colours are, there might be some users who would like to choose their own colours. This can be done with the \saminline|colors={...}| option which accepts a comma separated list of colours. The colours can be predefined colours e.g. from the \saminline|xcolor| package, user-defined colours or (for more fun) from the \saminline|xkcdcolors| package.

\begin{tcblisting}{
  listing and comment,
  pdf comment,
  freeze pdf,
  compilable listing,
  run pdflatex,
  comment={
    \begin{tikzpicture}
      \foreach \i in {1,...,6}{%
        \node at (0.35*\i,-0.7*\i) {\includegraphics[page=\i,width=3.7cm]{beamertheme-rainbow-doc-listing-2.pdf}};
      }
    \end{tikzpicture}
  },
