Oriole or oriole means a kind of bird--the one the Baltimore baseball team is named for--
An oriole is building a nest in the back yard.
I saw something bright orange fly by; I think it was an oriole.
Aureole or aureole ( nearly rhymes with oriole ) means a sort of halo--a ring of light or color that surrounds someone or something--
The statue seemed to have a real aureole when the sun shone on its gold crown.
The full moon and its aureole made the whole sky seem bright.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"When a sunbeam hit the bright orange oriole, it seemed to have a glowing aureole."
