Structurally-colored articles and methods for making and using structurally-colored articles

An article, comprising:

• a first optical stack of optical layers, a second optical stack of optical layers, and a first abrasion release layer between the first optical stack and the second optical stack, wherein the first optical stack is positioned adjacent an article surface, wherein the first optical stack is positioned relatively closer to the article surface than the second optical stack,
• wherein the first optical stack has a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the first side of the first optical stack is adjacent the article surface, wherein the first abrasion release layer has a first side disposed on the second side of the first optical stack, wherein the first abrasion release layer has a second side opposite the first side that is adjacent a first side of the second optical stack, wherein the second optical stack has a second side opposite the first side, wherein the second side of the second optical stack is externally facing;
• wherein the first optical stack imparts a first structural color, wherein the second optical stack imparts a second structural color, wherein the first abrasion release layer imparts a third color, wherein the first structural color and the second structural color are different in a hue, a value, a chroma, or any combination thereof when viewed from the same angle of observation from some with 20 20 visual acuity from a distance of about 1 meter from the article.
