Purple Color Change Holo

Here is another Holo style I like. This wrap is Gudebrod NCP Bright Red and Light Grey underneath with Light Blue NCP over the top. A lot has been said about the top color being the only one that affects the final color of the wrap, I have not found that to be true unless you use black and white (or black and grey) underneath.

The reality is that this wrap is light purple. It looks red and blue also when you move it, but predominantly it is purple. It is hard to look at this wrap and be sure what colors were used and I like that. Subtler colors can also be used but the more you lessen the contrast the less dramatic the holographic / moire effect appears.

Funny thing about cameras - to the naked eye this wrap looks perfect except for one teensy weensy part of the waterslide decal being wrinkled. Under photo magnification it doesn't look so good! Another humbling experience...guess I should have photo shopped it.

While these wraps look good on any blank, this blank is nearly 1" in diameter above the grip and the Holo wraps REALLY look good on larger diameter blanks.

Thanks again to Bill and Scott for sharing.
