Why is it that no matter what color of bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Bubbles are really thin, about 10 times thinner then a strand of hair, it's impossible for them to show any color.Why is it that no matter what color of bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
They are NOT ';always white'; First off, if you look at the bubbles themselves, you will notice almost every color of the rainbow on the, same as a puddle of water, with some oil in it, in the parking lot. It's called ';thin film refraction'; and the light is being bent by the varying thickness of the stuff the bubbles are made of, resulting in all different colors.Why is it that no matter what color of bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
because the soap is being diluted by the bathwater, theres couple gallons of water in a bathtub compared to a couple tablespoons of bubble bath.
whoa ive never thought about that
Because the coloring isn't intense enough to show on the very very very thin membrane of a bubble.
The wall of the bubbles is so thin that they do not absorb enough light to result in a color change in the scattered and reflected light.
Read this article from Popular Science about a man who has been trying for 11 years to make a colored bubble (its not as easy as you might think):

This may help explain why (normal) bubbles aren't colored.
Yeah...its weird and an interesting question but i dont know the answer though.
I bet if you look closely at the surface of a single bubble, you'll see it's got rainbow colored bands, like a oilly liquid.





That's because the thickness of the bubble surface changes dynamically, and the color of the light that's ultimately reflected back to your eyes depends on the thickness of that film.
WHO KNOWS BUT SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVENT SOME COLORED BUBBLES.
because the bubble bath is such a small percentage of the bubble. It's still that little capful of pink in side the bathtub of clear. But it acts as a surfactant (a substance which increases the surface tension of a liquid), and makes the water capable of becoming a film required for bubbles. The bubbles then refract and reflect the light back out, without really absorbing any of it (at least not any specific color of it more than another), and so the light reflected back out is white.
umm bc the bubbles are made of that one soap compound and is very microscopic which makes it appear clear.... **** i dunno im just tryna sound smart but i may b right
Why is water clear but the ocean is blue?


The concentration of coloring used is so small that when the bubbles are created the dye has a vast molecula breakdown.
Because the bubbles are racist bigots.
The foam looks white because it scatters light.


There isn't enough fluid in the bubble walls to


show color.
