The story
Sirio Illusion is the newest twist on Sirio: a pulp-dyed sheet whose embossed face carries an iridescent finish that slides between two colours as you tilt it. The names tell you the pair, Rosamalva moving from rose to mauve, Verdeoro from green to gold, Violazzurro from violet to azure, plus Biancoverde and Gialloplatino. It was developed for luxury packaging, so it is tough on abrasion and folding. Use it as a box lining or end-sheet that rewards the moment of opening.
