Abstract
A multilayer thin film that reflects an omnidirectional high chroma red structural color. The multilayer thin film may include a reflector layer, at least one absorber layer extending across the reflector layer, and an outer dielectric layer extending across the at least one absorber layer. The multilayer thin film reflects a single narrow band of visible light when exposed to white light and the outer dielectric layer has a thickness of less than or equal to 2.0 quarter wave (QW) of a center wavelength of the single narrow band of visible light.
