* **Indigo** and **Violet** - Meet the Rainbow Chasers - Indigo, who says he’s ‘like Blue but a bit more Purple’, and Violet, who says she’s ‘A little bit Purple, but a bit more Blue’. These friends of Purple share a passion for rainbows and long to see one.

## Notes

* The show was announced on the 31st of August, 2022.
* It is currently the only Learningblocks show out of the three to not premiere its first episode on the fourth Monday of January, instead premiering on the second Monday of September, which is the month where most of the show's target audience had already just gone back to school a week prior.
	+ Alphablocks premiered on January 25th, Numberblocks premiered on January 23rd, while Colourblocks aired on September 12th.
* The show's title uses the British English way of spelling of the word "colour", which includes a U. However there's also the American English spelling "color", which lacks the U.
	+ Both the British spelling of "Colourblocks" and the American spelling of "Colorblocks" are trademarked by Alphablocks Ltd.
* So far, not counting specials, this show has the least amount of episodes out of all three Learningblock shows, with only 30 episodes across 1 series compared to Alphablocks having 91 episodes across 4 series and Numberblocks having 120 episodes across 5 series. However, this could be justified as the show could possibly have more episodes in the future.
