Every year, Mr. Regnbue gives everything a fresh coat of white paint, a clean slate for the upcoming year. He dons a white suit, a white top hat, and white goggles (for eye protection, you see) and goes about his usual routine of driving around town in his white converted bus with the windows down. The town is always ready with their balloons filled with paint and the day is filled with the pops and splats of seemingly endless explosions of color, covering his car, his suit, his house, and the man himself, the happiest color bearer in the land.
