Come to think of it, hazy cloud top indicates that the cloud top has
been frozen. Thus, there should be no rainbow. If there was rain below
the clouds and you saw the colours there, then the rainbow would be
logical explanation, not with frozen cloud top. Wonder if there are any
colored sub-halos at the opposite site of the sun? :-)
