One or more aspects of the present disclosure are directed to bladders that incorporate a multi-layer optical film that impart a structural color to the bladder. The present disclosure is also directed to articles including the bladders having a multi-layer optical film, and methods for making articles and bladders having a multi-layer optical film.

One or more aspects of the present disclosure are directed to bladders that incorporate a multi-layer optical film that impart a structural color to the bladder. The present disclosure is also directed to articles including the bladders having a multi-layer optical film, and methods for making articles and bladders having a multi-layer optical film.

One or more aspects of the present disclosure provide optical element transfer structures that include an optical element releasably coupled with a transfer medium and methods of making and using the optical element transfer structures. The optical element transfer structures can be used to dispose an optical element onto an article, whereby the optical element imparts a structural color to the article.

As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The optical element can have different sections that have different relative thicknesses. For example, a first section of the optical element disposed on the first area of the article can have a first average thickness and a second section of the optical element disposed on the second area can have a second average thickness. The first section of the optical element imparts a first structural color and the second section imparts a second structural color.

As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The surface of the article can include the optical element with sections that have different relative thicknesses from one another. A first section imparts a first structural color and a second section imparts a second structural color. The first structural color and the second structural color differ from each other when viewed from the same angle of observation from a viewer having 20/20 visual acuity and normal color vision from a distance of about 1 meter from the article including the optical element.

As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The article includes the optical element including one or more layers. The surface of the article can include the optical element with regions that impart different structural colors. The different structural colors imparted are due at least in part to the different structure (e.g., cross-sectional structure) of the optical element in certain regions.

As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The article includes the optical element on its surface and the optical element includes one or more layers (e.g., a reflective layer(s), a constituent layer(s), and the like). The optical element can include a plurality of different sections, where each of the different sections have a different relative thickness.

As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The article includes the optical element including one or more layers. The surface of the article can include the optical element with regions that impart different structural colors. The different structural colors imparted are due at least in part to the different structure (e.g., transverse cross-sectional structure) of the optical element in certain regions.

As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The article can include an optical element including one or more layers. The surface of the article can include the optical element with regions that impart different structural colors. The different structural colors imparted are due at least in part to the different structure (e.g., transverse cross-sectional structure) of the optical element in certain regions.

As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The article can include the optical element (e.g., a single layer reflector, a single layer filter, a multilayer reflector or a multilayer filter) including one or more layers (e.g., a reflective layer(s), a constituent layer(s), and the like). The surface of the article can include areas of the surface that are at different relative heights from one another and can impart different structural colors.
