In a rainbow variant of the Turán problem, we consider graphs on the same set of vertices and want to determine the smallest possible number of edges in each graph, which guarantees the existence of a copy of a given graph containing at most one edge from each graph. In other words, we treat each of the graphs as a graph in one of the colors and consider how many edges in each color force a rainbow copy of a given graph . In the talk, we will describe known results on the topic, as well as present recent developments, obtained jointly with Sebastian Babiński and Magdalen Prorok, solving the rainbow Turán problem for a path on 4 vertices and a directed triangle with any number of colors.
