Abstract
Directionally dependent optical effects are produced from faceted micrometer-scale substructures. The directionally dependent optical effects can appear as one specific color when viewed from one direction and another specific color when flipped and viewed from the opposing direction. The directionally dependent optical effects may appear reflective or transmissive from one direction and antireflective or opaque when flipped around.
