I’ll give you the answer to the first, then you can try the rest yourself!

The adjective phrases are: Brilliantly-coloured and metallic. Although metallic is just an adjective rather than a phrase.

An adjective is a describing word, so any words above which enhance the description of an object are certain to be adjectives or adjective phrases (also referred to as compound adjectives, which, don’t forget, are hyphenated. ie the brilliantly-coloured butterflies).
