Iridescent

Iridescence: a lustrous rainbowlike play of color caused by differential refraction of light waves... that tends to change as the angle of view changes.
~Merriam-Webster

    I think that iridescence is optical magic...almost mesmerizing. Bubbles are wonderful examples...though fleeting they may be.
