There are several 'really colorful' events in the skies over the Antarctic continent, in addition to sunlight, starlight and moonlight.

When the sun is up, you can see sun dogs, that Wikipedia describes as: "... the scientific name parhelia (singular parhelion), are an atmospheric phenomenon that creates a pair of bright spots of light on either side on the sun, often co-occurring with a luminous ring or halo." Sun dogs are also visible in less polar, but high-latitude geographies on earth.

When there is no sun, Aurora Australis are visible during the dark periods, and from Wikipedia: "The aurora is produced by solar wind particles guided by Earth's field lines to the top of the atmosphere."

When there have been no sunrises, once the sun does rise -- once again from Wikipedia, below -- "Polar stratospheric clouds or PSCs, also known as nacreous clouds, are clouds in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15,000 to 25,000 meters (49,000 to 82,000 ft)."
