Check the following web page - it has a picture of a small sample of
iridium. The description says that iridium is a white metal with yellow
highlights. The bluish cast seen on the sample may simply be the
refraction
of light off it.

Subject: Painting irridium vehicles
I'm going to paint a set of vehicles Hammer's Slammers style.
One problem, I have never seen a piece of irridium. The online
sites say "bluish white".
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking steel with a blue
ink glaze or maybe silver with blue mixed in, but I'm really
not sure.
TIA
