Is The distant rainbow was spectacular a transitive-or-intransitive?

The verb "was" in the phrase "The distant rainbow was spectacular" is linking and does not indicate action being performed on a direct object. Therefore, the sentence does not have a transitive or intransitive verb in the traditional sense, as "was" simply connects the subject to a state of being. In this context, it is more about describing the state of the subject rather than indicating an action.
