Abstract

This article presents a method of evaluating the color of special‐effect pigments dispersed in translucent media and of characterizing the color of such media. An analytical model eliminating the effect of sample thickness variations is proposed. The method is based on reflectance measurements against both white and black backgrounds and is applied to the flexible poly(vinyl chloride) model for the quality control of pearlescent/interference/aluminum pigments based on the calculated color differences and for creating a color‐matching database for computer color formulation. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
