Interference colors have special reflective properties. When an interference color is viewed from different angles it changes between a bright opalescent colour and its complement.

Interference colors are relatively transparent, which allows you to create unique glazing effects. Over a light surface, the interference color is subtle but its complement more clear. Over a black or dark surface the situation is the opposite.

Effects of light interference are common in nature, e.g. in fish scales and bird feathers.

You can also mix the standard colours with the interference colors and create unique colour palettes. If you for example to add a small amount of black, you will get a deeper opalescent effect.
