A textured window film (34) has a prismatic effect (32) that allows a substantial amount of incoming light (50, 52) to pass through a window (12) while refracting the light at random or semi-random angles in a manner that distorts viewed images. The result is a window film that is brighter and more vibrant while also providing visual privacy. The textured window film (34) can therefore better simulate real textured and colored glass.
