On a rainy day, what causes the swirly colours on asphalt?

Asked by Karandr (69points) October 14th, 2009

I’ve seen it heaps of times before and never really considered it. On a rainy day, you often see really bright waves of colour on the asphalt. Usually, it’s where there was (or is) a huge puddle. What causes this?
