Hologram sticker characteristics

A QR Code and a sticker printed with a hologram as shown below are affixed on the product package.

Notes

This differs from the actual color because shades of color vary depending on the way the light hits. The hologram sticker has the following characteristics that make it difficult to copy.

When the sticker is tilted to the left and the right, the color changes.
When the sticker is rotated, the shading is reversed.
