An image sensor including contiguous color filters is disclosed. The image sensor includes a grid disposed between color filters, a first reflective layer disposed over an upper portion of the grid and patterned to include first reflective structures at borders between adjacent sensor pixels to reflect light, and a second reflective layer disposed over and spaced from the first reflective layer and patterned to include second reflective structures at borders between adjacent sensor pixels to reflect light, and each second reflective structure formed in an angular shape to direct reflected light incident to borders between adjacent sensor pixels into adjacent sensor pixels.
