No, it's not an opinion, it's a statement of fact. An opinion would be 'That rainbow is beautiful'.

No, it is not an opinion. It is true that a rainbow has different colors. And it is true that two of those colors are red and blue.
So, the statement is a fact.

such as is used to offer examples that support the statement. Whether the support is factual in nature or opinion is not basic to the phrase. "Such as" means "for example". the examples can demonstrate fact or support an opinion. There is no doubt that the rainbow, because it includes red and blue, consists of multiple colors. The examples demonstrate it as true.
If I were to say, "Certain colors in shirts suit you better, such as green and blue", the examples are used to support an opinion. the truth or opinion aspect is basic to the primary statement rather than to the examples.

'Such as', in this case, is just a way of giving examples.
Whether it's a fact or an opinion depends on the rest of the sentence.
Fact: Many animals live in Africa, such as giraffes, elephants, and lions.
Opinion: The cutest animals in the world are mammals, such as dogs and otters.

No, it's a fact. The phrase "such as" never turns a fact into an opinion, though it might turn a truth into a falsehood, viz., "a rainbow has different colors such as elephants and carburetors."

No, that's a factual statement. 'Such as' is a segue to giving examples to prove a statement is true or false.

No. Such as means for example and has nothing to do with opinion.

In this case it would be a fact.
If you had something more subjective, it would be an opinion: I only watch the most interesting TV shows, such as Walking Dead and Supernatural.
