Front Cover : Gradient photonic materials can change their color upon strain. In article 2000069, James J. Watkins, Hans‐Werner Schmidt, and co‐workers present such materials that consist of a 1D polymer photonic crystal attached to an elastomer with a defined gradient in stiffness. Tuning the stiffness and the architecture of the gradient elastomer allows the formation of tailored reflectance patterns
