Colour in clouds

I was in the United States a few weeks back.

At about 3pm I looked up and saw some colours (Rainbow style) streaking across two whispy clouds in the sky. It was an awsome sight and other people started snapping cameras also.

Took this with a stock standard Kodak 5meg

Does anyone know what casues this type of colour? All I can think is refraction by the sun on water within the clouds, however it was about 40degC and dry as anything (LA - Universal Studios).

It could be refraction through pollution maybe?
