'Iridescent' refers to showing colors that appear to change when seen from different or various angles. The word is often used when describing soap bubbles, bird feathers, the surface of a CD, etc. But in this context, when someone is called 'iridescent', it is used in a positive way. For instance, 'iridescent' people tend to be special people who expand the way you think and what you can do in life as general.
