Not an objection per se but two comments: 1 - Rainbow is associated with LGBTQ communities and there have been concerns about it being co-opted for other uses. For example, https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jul/02/brands-rainbow-queasy-but-bring-lgbt-lives-into-mainstream-skittles-gay
2 - I cannot speak for the LGBTQ community and I support them so I would say rainbow would be something I would avoid. In the business world I often recommend people consider made up words. Less chance of conflictions. Regards, KAM On 2/28/2019 3:28 AM, Antoine Toulme wrote: > Hey folks, just checking in. > > I would like to establish rough consensus.
