ABC’sThe View” is marking Pride Month with special “hot topics” style segments that include vibrant rainbows thanks to the studio’s video walls and lighting cues.

In addition to a wavy rainbow background with the words “The View Celebrates Pride” fed to the video wall behind the co-host table during the segments, the show also switches to a rainbow edged bug.

The set’s other backlit and video panels feature a similar effect, while gold and red accent lighting on the set’s columns and headers complete the look.
