Shop ChromaticPlease note: This is a creative use case that goes beyond our films’ typical application. Because the effect depends on how light moves through the layers, we recommend positioning the films and previewing the look in a few different lighting conditions first — then peel the liners and bond them together once you’re happy with the result.
