pavonine \ PAV-uh-nahyn, -nin \ adjective
1. of or like a peacock.
2. resembling the feathers of a peacock, as in coloring.
Nice descriptive word, but something I think you'd only find in flowery prose: "The young lovers watched the golden orb of the sun sink below the far away darkening horizon, framed by the pavonine rainbow."
