    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with conductive structures such as conductive housing structures. A visible-light-reflecting coating may be formed on the conductive structures. The coating may have adhesion and transition layers and a thin-film interference filter on the adhesion and transition layers. The thin-film interference filter may be a four-layer interference filter stacked directly onto the adhesion and transition layers and having an uppermost SiCrN layer, a lowermost SiN layer, and interleaved SiH and SiN layers. If desired, an opaque coloring layer such as a Cr layer may be disposed between the interference filter and the adhesion and transition layers. The coating may exhibit a deep red or orange color that has a relatively uniform visual response even when the underlying conductive structures have a three-dimensional shape.
