Nacreous is an adjective used to describe something that is PEARLY, IRIDESCENT, or irridescent. It is derived from the Latin word nacrus, meaning 'mother-of-pearl'. Nacreous objects have a shimmering, rainbow-like appearance due to the way light reflects off of them. PEARLY refers to the color of mother-of-pearl, which is usually white or pinkish. IRIDESCENT and irridescent both refer to the rainbow-like colors that can be seen when light reflects off of the object.
