    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for articles that exhibit structural colors. The article includes optical stacks that can be incorporated onto one or more components of an article, for example, when the article is an article of footwear, on an upper or sole of an article of footwear. Upon being subjected to abrasive forces, one or more of the layers of the optical stacks are removed, which can alter the appearance (e.g., structural color and/or non-structural color of areas) of the article. In this way, an article may have a certain appearance originally, but can change (e.g., randomly or intentionally) upon application of abrasive forces (e.g., through use or intentionally).

    Abstract: As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The present disclosure provides for articles that exhibit structural colors through the use of an optical element, where structural colors are visible colors produced, at least in part, through optical effects. The optical element (e.g., a single layer reflector, a single layer filter, a multilayer reflector or a multilayer filter) can include the reflective layer(s), constituent layers, and an optional textured surface. The optical element has a minimum percent reflectance in a wavelength range within the wavelength range of about 380 to 625 nanometers. The optical element imparts a structural color that corresponds substantially to the range of wavelength range.

    Abstract: As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The present disclosure provides for articles that exhibit structural colors through the use of an optical element having one or more layers. The optical element includes at least a first section and a second section. The first section imparts a first structural color and the second section imparts a second structural color. The first structural color and the second structural color differ from each other when viewed from the same angle of observation.

    Abstract: As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The surface of the article can include the optical element with sections that have different relative thicknesses from one another. A first section imparts a first structural color and a second section imparts a second structural color. The first structural color and the second structural color differ from each other when viewed from the same angle of observation from a viewer having 20/20 visual acuity and normal color vision from a distance of about 1 meter from the article including the optical element.

    Abstract: As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The present disclosure provides for articles that exhibit structural colors using one or more optical elements. The optical element(s) is disposed on a substrate (e.g., the surface of the article) and when exposed to visible light, the optical element imparts a structural color to the article, where the structural color (e.g., single color, multicolor such as iridescent) is visible color produced, at least in part, through optical effects (e.g., through scattering, refraction, reflection, interference, and/or diffraction of visible wavelengths of light). Different optical elements can impart the same or different structural colors.
