I NEED HELP

Ethan? - 7-9-2018 at 09:15

I found this video on Youtube and there's a segment within it that I cannot understand. There's this fluid that appears red from a side view but from above and below, the liquid appears clear. I have multiple theories on what it could be, including the Briggs-Rauscher reaction, Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction and possible backlighting effects for a ionic fluid. Nothing is absolute so I hope you guys can help me. The link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwVWfrZ3Q50 and the time stamp is 8:03.

Check out this video.... the effect appears to be dichromism of bromophenol blue.
