Anti-reflective coatings and articles and methods of forming the same

Embodiments of a color-neutral anti-reflective coating and articles including the same are described. In one or more embodiments, a substrate includes a first major surface and an anti-reflective coating disposed on the first major surface of the substrate and having a reflective surface opposite the first major surface. In one or more embodiments, a point on the reflective surface has a single-surface reflectance under a D65 illuminant with an angular color variation, [Delta] E [theta] that is less than 5, where [Delta] E [theta] = √ {(a*[theta]1 - a*[theta]2)2 + (b*[theta]1 - b*[theta]2)2}, and a*[theta]1 and b*[theta]1 are color values a* and b* values of the point measured from a first angle [theta]1, and a second angle [theta]2, where [theta]1 and [theta]2 are any two different viewing angles at least 5 degrees apart in a range from about 10DEG to about 60DEG relative to a normal vector of the reflective surface.
