Blue, pink, and yellow colorations appear from twisted bi‐layer graphene (tBLG) when transferred to a SiO 2 /Si substrate (SiO 2 = 100 nm‐thick). Raman and electron microscope studies reveal that these colorations appear for twist angles in the 9–15° range. Optical contrast simulations confirm that the observed colorations are related to the angle‐dependent electronic properties of tBLG combined with the reflection that results from the layered structure tBLG/100 nm‐thick SiO 2 /Si.
