English term or phrase: prism
Is "prism" a colour?

I am translating a book on fishing lures and the word "prism" appears to be used as a colour... Should I translate it as "multicolor" into Spanish if thinking of a prism as decomposing light into all the colours of the rainbow? I´m lost!

CONTEXT:
"Colors used in drift fishing can be broken up into three groups: bright, light, and dark. .... Dark colours include prism, metallic, bluc, dark green, brown, ...."
"Blue, purple, and prisms may be "bright" in some water conditions and "dark" in others. "

Creo que se refieren a esto:

"Prismatic Tape, Black Pyrite
These beautiful prismatic tapes resemble the look of machined metal and will dazzle anything they are applied to! Perfect for use on circus equipment, particularly hula hoops, fishing lures and picture frames."

Sin embargo, no deja de ser curioso que aparezca como color.
