Good point - I hadn't. Rainbow keys are used very sparingly. I seem to recall that Vern doesn't really like their use much, especially in built-in mansions. It's too easy to create stuck situations with them. They can be handy in certain situations though.
For example: In Cathedral Towers Hard, there is a rainbow key in room 14498. It's one of those rooms where there are a number of locked doors that branch off to the left or right. In this case there are four doors with different colors. The start key is a rainbow key. So you're guaranteed to wind up with an extra key here. Each door/area protects a key to one of the other doors.
I could be wrong, but I believe these are the only other rainbow keys in the mansions:
Falcon Manor (All) - 18695 (forked path mansion)
Falcon Manor Normal - 18293
In Falcon manor there is a fork with a blue and a red key. The rainbow key provides a way to open either door.
