Outline of the method:

- Draw a circle
- Add a radial fill to it
- Edit the fill so that it has the appropriate color points (Red outside -
Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Violet)
- Draw another, smaller circle; center both circles; punch the smaller one
out
- This next step I'm not completely sure of - Cut the circle in two, or
flatten then cut, or just mask half the circle. Experiment and find out
what works best.
- Export

I've posted a png of a full circle rainbow for you to see this method:
