What is Noniridescence?

Noniridescence refers to the lack of iridescence or color-changing properties in a material or object. In other words, it means that the object does not display any colors or colorful effects when viewed from different angles.

Iridescence is a phenomenon where materials or objects appear to change color as they are viewed from different angles due to the way light interacts with their microscopic structure. Examples of iridescent materials include peacock feathers, butterfly wings, and oil slicks on water.

In contrast, noniridescent materials do not exhibit this color-changing behavior and appear to be a single color or shade regardless of the angle from which they are viewed. Common examples of noniridescent materials include most metals, plastics, and glass.
