Definition:
Iridescent describes a surface that shimmers with multiple hues, each appearing or fading as the angle shifts. The effect feels almost alive, like colors sliding across water or drifting over fine wings. Such surfaces often blur the line between light and shadow, creating a hypnotic sense of motion. Iridescence can appear delicate, otherworldly, or even uncanny depending on the setting. It captures the quiet magic found in things that refuse to stay one shade.
