For things that Lovecraft kept saying were "utterly indescribable" it seems that there are an awful lot of physical depictions.

Yeah - wait until I paint "the Colour Out of Space" - its whole premise is that it blows your mind just by seeing it.

I dunno - metallic pinks and blues and stuff?

I wonder if anyone makes a "chameleon paint" for minis? If you're wondering what that it, it's a paint used on vehicles that has metallic flakes in it, that makes it look like a different colour as the viewing angle changes.

Here are a couple I searched up quick:
