Question

What background color works best with holographic foil?

Answer

Dark backgrounds create the most dramatic contrast with holographic foil. A dark surface absorbs light while the foil reflects it, which is what makes the rainbow effect pop.

Background	Result
Black, navy, or charcoal	Maximum contrast and the boldest shimmer
White or light stock	Softer, more subtle shine

If the goal is to stop people mid-glance, pair holographic foil with a black or deep-toned background.
