Everyone is talking about the droplets, it it’s solely about the light source and your position relative to it. You see it when there’s is spray inside near a bright lamp and get a smaller rainbow.

Rainbows are a bit like a mirror, as others have said, they’re unique to everyone because of positions, colour perception in your eye etc.
