Long ago, there was this thread:

Never tried to pull it out, though.

The colourful look comes from interference, which Indigo supports using the coating material type.

I would try a very high resolution radial bump map, something like this or ideally even more high res...:

... to control the thickness of the coating with.

Edit: Nope, that doesn't work. :)

... actually one can sort of make it look like a CD. This is not accurate though. :)

Thanks @thesquirell @ Oscar !
Much appreciated!

I was thinking maybe use this > http://www.indigorenderer.com/materials/materials/1055 with on big ring.
With a super high exponent inside a plastic material...so light can bounce and break.
But no luck.

Try using this map I made as coating thickness with interference on. You need to play around with the values inside Indigo a bit though.

No, it comes from grating diffraction, which ends up in highly dispersive, highly anisotropic BRDF behavior. This is absolutely not supported, it has to be faked somehow.
