a muscle wearing your favorite color, throwing shade at light all day long
means The colored ring of muscle in your eye that surrounds the pupil and adjusts how much light gets in — also the showy garden flower of the same name.
from From Greek 'iris,' meaning 'rainbow,' and the name of Iris, the goddess who carried messages between gods and humans along the rainbow's arc. The Greeks gave the name to anything iridescent or many-colored — fitting for both the eye's bright ring and the flower's vivid petals.
