Colorful band (8)

I believe the answer is:

spectrum

(Other definitions for spectrum that I've seen before include "Range of colours, opinions etc" , "Complete colour range" , "An entire range of related qualities of crumpets" , "range of tones" , "lot of colours" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
