Abstract In contrast to conventional pigments, which interact with light by absorption and/or diffuse scattering, effect or luster pigments show optical properties that are due to specular reflection of light by aligned flaky particles. Their main property is goniochromaticity, i.e. the change of lightness and/or color hue with the viewing angle of the observer. The paper describes the different type of luster pigments, their optical properties and applications and manufacturing methods.
