iridal

iridal
adjective /ˈʌɪɹɪdəl/
a) Pertaining to a rainbow.

The iridal dark-brown of her serious eyes had the enigmatic opacity of an Oriental hypnotists look (in a magazines back-page advertisement) and seemed to be placed higher that usual so that between its lower rim and the moist lower lid a cradle crescent of white remained when she stared straight at you.

b) Pertaining to the iris of the eye.
