Effect pigments - types
Roughly categorised effect pigments:
• Metallic pigments consist of very thin metallic flakes or wafers that
act as miniature mirrors. Their intensity changes according to the
angle from which they are viewed. Maximum light intensity is achieved
near the gloss, the angle at which the incident light is reflected.
Minimum light intensity is experienced at an angle far away from the
gloss.
• Mica flake effect pigments with single or multiple thin layers of metal
oxide. The interplay of colours produced by these pigments is due to
the layered structure of the metal oxide, which is also responsible for
the rich deep glossy effect.

Perception special effect colors
Color is the perception which is formed in the brain of
the observer via the eye, brought about by rays
of light which are reflected or transmitted by
homogeneous objects
Texture is the visible surface structure depending on the
size and organization of small constituent parts of a
material.

How to evaluate a special effect color
• at large distance only color!
• at microscopic level no match is required!
– orange pigment can be imitated by a combination of a red
and yellow

How to evaluate special effect color
• Classical: tilting simply simulates changes from a fixed light
source and does not take any account of colour shifts produced
through interference
• Modern: To allow interference shifts to be observed, the panel
must be moved so as to allow the angle to the light source to be
made steeper or flatter

Criteria used for evaluation to a particular pigment / color
effect
• Durability pigment
– Chemical resistance
– Light fastness
• Sprayability – uniform film
• Reparability (spot repair)
• Price
• Weight
