1. A security device, comprising:
- a substrate formed with a surface relief defining an optically variable effect generating structure; and
at least two different opaque reflection enhancing materials, at least one of which is discontinuous, on the same side of the substrate with respect to the surface relief, each of the at least two reflection enhancing materials having the surface relief profile and having different hues, whereby the optically variable effect can be viewed against a background defined by the at least two reflection enhancing materials.
