A high-chroma omnidirectional red structural color pigment. The omnidirectional structural color pigment is in the form of a multilayer stack that has a reflective core layer, a metal absorber layer extending across the reflective core layer and a dielectric absorber layer extending across the metal absorber layer. The multilayer stack reflects a single band of visible light with a hue between 0-40°, and preferably between 10-30°, on an a*b* Lab color map. The single band of visible light has a hue shift of less than 30° on the a*b* Lab color map when viewed from all angles between 0-45° normal to an outer surface of the multilayer stack.
