Iridescent blue highlights

Hi,

I wonder what this sentence mean. Can you help? I did some googling and found iridescent blue is a kind of blue.
So how can a dazzling white robe radiate a blue color?

One of the servants carried a dazzling white robe shimmering with iridescent blue highlights.

Thank you.

  • The blue highlights are the result of the physical properties of the fabric of the robe.

This bird is all black. The sunlight reflecting off the fine structure of the feathers produces the blue color that we see. These birds are very common where I live.
