Simple answer: Because clouds are wet.

Expanded answer: Rainbows are formed by the refraction (bending) of light, as it bends it is split into all the frequency's that make up that beam of light. as clouds are made of water vapour when they cool and become more dense and light can refract the same way it would through mist, light rain or spray

A rainbow in a cloud, known as a cloud iridescence, is caused by the diffraction and refraction of sunlight by water droplets or ice crystals in the clouds. This phenomenon creates a colorful display due to the bending of light, with the colors appearing more pastel and diffused compared to a classic rainbow.
