• 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.
