If there is a spider that could be labelled as pretty, the Orchard Orb Weaver would be it. Its abdomen is slightly elongated and can have a mixture of several colors. Most commonly the abdomen looks like it is white or silver with a few thin black stripes running down its length. Among the stripes will be different markings of yellow, green, bright orange and/or pink.
The Cephalothorax will usually be a greenish yellow with brown on the sides. The legs are a bright green that often become black further away from the body.
