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

Same as with no matter what color dish soap or showergel is, the suds are white. I dunno guess it thins out so much it seems clear/white.Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
What you are seeing is the random scattering of light caused by the whole bubble. The bubbles themselves have so much surface area that any dye that might be in the bubble bath solution is so thinned out as to almost dissappear. What you get instead is an almost transparent film that reflects and refracts almost all the light that comes into the foam.
