Fashionable artist starting to show respect for natural phenomenon (7)

I believe the answer is:

rainbow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'natural phenomenon' is the definition.
'rainbow' can be an answer for 'phenomenon' (I have seen 'Colourful phenomenon ' mean 'rainbow' so perhaps 'phenomenon' could also mean 'rainbow'). I'm unsure of the 'natural' bit.

'fashionable artist starting to show respect' is the wordplay.
'fashionable' becomes 'in' (in can mean fashionable or trendy).
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'starting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'to show respect' becomes 'bow' (somebody may bow to show respect).
'in' after 'ra' is 'rain'.
'rain'+'bow'='RAINBOW'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rainbow that I've seen before include "Colourful arc in the sky" , "Iris was its goddess" , "-- Coalition; -- trout" , "Natural arch of colours" , "in different colours" .)
