some episodes have various confrontations of different sorts.

the villains Murky and Lurky are constantly trying to turn rainbowland back into a dark place.

the first episode of rainbow brite is perhaps the most scary as it takes place before rainbowland was as it is in later episodes. the whole world before rainbowland is a dark and scary place and is ruled by a dark ghostlike creature. it is a scary episode for the audience age that this show aims at.
