Many inks show a metallic sheen when viewed at high angles of incidence. (Those of us old enough to remember inkwells in school desks may well also remember the copper or bronze appearance of the dried-up ink). Viewed head-on the colour may look just fine, but 'flop' the print so you're viewing it almost edge-on and you'll get a very different look.
