Fringing
From Nikonians Wiki - FAQs, Photo Glossary, Good Photo Locations, Help
Fringing shows up as "fringes" of color along edges that separate dark and bright parts of the image.
It can be caused by either of
a) CA - Chromatic Aberration, i.e. when each color in the optical spectrum cannot be focused at a single common point on the optical axis, or
b) As a result of lens flare.
