moires
Rippled textile patterns
Moires is the plural of moire, a fabric with a wavy, rippled pattern that shimmers as light hits it from different angles.
The effect resembles water reflections.
In technical contexts, moires refers to interference patterns that appear when two regular patterns overlap slightly out of alignment—a common problem in printing and digital imaging: The scan showed distracting moires across the photograph.
