High chroma flakes

A method for forming an article comprising:

• depositing on a substrate a first absorber layer;
• depositing on the first absorber layer a first selective light modulator layer;
• depositing on the first selective light modulator layer a reflector;
• depositing on the reflector a second selective light modulator layer, and
• depositing on the first selective light modulator layer a second absorber layer;
• wherein at least one of the first selective light modulator layer and the second selective light modulator layer is deposited using a liquid coating process.

A method of creating a metallic appearance on a substrate, comprising:

• adding an article to a liquid medium to create a color shifting colorant;
• and
• applying the color shifting colorant to at least a portion of a substrate, wherein the color shifting colorant exhibits high chroma;
• wherein the article includes a reflector having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;
• a first selective light modulator layer external to the first surface of the reflector;
• a second selective light modulator layer external to the second surface of the reflector;
• a first absorber layer external to the first selective light modulator layer;
• and a second absorber layer external to the second selective light modulator layer;
• wherein each of the first and second selective light modulator layers include a host material.
