Matched interference pigments or foils having viewing angle dependent mismatch

A system comprising:

• a first interference filter comprising:
• a first absorber layer,
• a dielectric portion,
• a second absorber layer,
• at least one of the first absorber layer or the second absorber layer including a metal layer, and
• a reflector layer,
• the reflector layer including one or more of aluminum, silver, copper, gold, platinum, tin, titanium, palladium, nickel, cobalt, rhodium, niobium, or chromium,
• the dielectric portion being between the second absorber layer and the reflector layer,
• a reflectivity of the first absorber layer and a reflectivity of the second absorber layer being less than a reflectivity of the reflector layer, and
• the reflectivity of the reflector layer being at least 40%;
• and
• a second interference filter,
• the first interference filter and the second interference filter appearing to match at a first viewing angle,
• at least one of lightness, color, or hue of the first interference filter at a second viewing angle being different from at least one of lightness, color, or hue of the second interference filter at the second viewing angle,
• the second interference filter being different from the first interference filter, and
• the second interference filter comprising a different reflector layer.
