The producer of this video is a liquid light artist (“Liquid Light Lab”); usually he uses oil dye for the colors, so probably it’s the same for this technique. The liquids are placed in a petri dish which is backlit (usually by an overhead projector).
In the description of the video he states: “This process uses 3 immiscible liquids, ie, liquids which will never mix together”, but doesn’t say much more. In the comment section he stated that it doesn’t involve heat.
Furthermore he would confirm the right guess (of how it’s done) in the comment section, but noone guessed it so far.
Two are probably dyed water and mineral oil. The 3rd liquid seems to evaporate quickly. Not sure why it seems to float to the surface slowly; maybe the oil creates a layer that is hard to cross.
Looks similar to a lot of the videos on [acrylic cell painting](https://youtu.be/QbnVGPILY70?t=251). Might be something similar? I believe they generally use silicone oil along with a heat gun to help produce the ‘cells’.
Wonder if this is like the dish soap, milk, food coloring one. Looks similar but I know its not exactly the same.

I may have thought this was creme brûlée at first.

I mean, PG is miscible with water- but it takes its sweet time blending in. It’s definitely not oil soluble, so it may seem like a third phase.
This makes me feel ill
my friend does https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx6IrJIvDl1LKw_yIhzHT0Q
he uses a bit of everything he can find including dishwashing soap, kerosene, mineral oil, spray paint paint, water, loads of nasty smelly stuff.
It’s a trial-and-error thing.
This is similar with my cookie when my friends in my nearbody
Looks like the red and yellow have similar densities while the white has a slightly lower density.
The red and yellow sit on the same level and don’t mix while the white makes its way up slowly between the two while still not mixing

This is so amazing to look at.
Ice nine?
Good illustration of how the coronavirus spreads
I know the guy who filmed this, but I’ve been asked not to share.
I will say that 2 of the 3 materials are readily available at a drugstore.
