During World War II the British determined that some codes used by Nazi Germany offered clues about what was being coded (for example, the German code name "Wotan" came from a one-eyed god which suggested to the British a single radio beam for navigation). To insure secrecy, the British developed the Rainbow Codes to identify their projects without offering any hints about those projects.

Although most were dropped in 1959, a few continued. Examples of Rainbow Codes include: Black Rock (surface to surface guided missile), Blue Streak (a medium-range ballistic missile), Green Archer (mortar-locating radar), and Red Cabbage (naval radar).
