Well, grammatically possible but semantically , I mean meaning, it sounds strange. Everyone knows that a rainbow is colourful so you don't have to say this again.

Hi sorayapearl,
I am not sure you realized. The tone and context was Intended this way!
By the way, few points
U - does not equal to "you" in real English

All rainbows is understood to be in colors. No need to say "colorful".
"When" needs to be capitalized.
Watch for your punctuations

<<>>when it comes to rules, this sentence is correct but
