No, "rainbow" is a noun. But you need nouns in a simile, since a simile compares two things that are not the same, but can be related in some way. You use "like" or "as" to make the comparison. The purpose for a simile is to paint a picture, to make us imagine something, by using words. So for example, we can say: "That tie-dyed shirt is like a rainbow." In other words, it is so colorful and bright that it reminds me of a rainbow. Or we could say that "Hope is like a rainbow" -- when we are discouraged and feeling depressed due to a rainy day (problems in our life), we see a rainbow and it reminds us to be hopeful, because it is beautiful and tells us the rain and the storm are over.
