About this scene
Oil & Water shows a thin, iridescent film floating on dark water. It curls into slow whirls and streaks, and its colors shift through the whole rainbow the way a drop of oil does on a wet street.
Swirl controls how tightly the film curls, and Sheen how strongly the colors shine. On an OLED or other high-contrast screen the black water makes the colors stand out, so it is a good scene for showing off a display.
