multihued

Having various colors

Multihued means having many colors or hues.

The word appears in descriptive writing about things displaying variety of color: a multihued sunset, multihued autumn leaves, the multihued plumage of tropical birds.

It's somewhat literary—in casual speech, *colorful* or *multicolored* are more common.
