I cannot remember the title of the article or the author, or even the
date, but I believe it was about 5 or 6 years ago that _Scientific
American_ published an article on this very topic. There are actually
artists who are working with this irridescence and also the variety of
colors that are formed.
If you happen to find the article, I would not mind receiving from you
the date of the issue. I read it, and probably have the information
somewhere, but having moved several times in recent history, I can't find
lots of things.
