A word for lots of colors

asked Sep 9, 2015 at 6:28

You may use iridescent :

• Showing luminous colors that seem to change when seen from different angles.

• The light glinted off the iridescent glass.

or:

multichromatic/multicoloured/polychromatic:

• Involving more than one colour.

• showing a variety, having many colours; multicoloured.

The obvious choice for me would be prismatic:

prismatic adj
brilliantly colored; iridescent TFD

It obviously works well in the context of glass.

Palette was the first word to come to mind for me. As in a palette of colors a painter would use.

The light glinted off the glass palette.

The light glinted off the glass as if glimmers of dreams and imagery from a kaleidoscope.

The light glinted off the kaleidoscopic glass.

The first proposal uses no adjectives, it relies on the minds imagery to figure out the objects and light. The second proposal adjectivises the original noun. Especially in the first sentence, word kaleidoscope is last, with the ambition of adding emphasis.

kaleidoscope

From OED,

a. An optical instrument, consisting of from two to four reflecting surfaces placed in a tube, at one end of which is a small compartment containing pieces of coloured glass: on looking through the tube, numerous reflections of these are seen, producing brightly-coloured symmetrical figures, which may be constantly altered by rotation of the instrument.

b. fig. A constantly changing group of bright colours or coloured objects; anything which exhibits a succession of shifting phases.
