We show the results of Mie‐scattering Monte Carlo models developed to simulate the optical properties of light incident on particle‐containing coatings. The model accommodates mixtures of particles with different sizes and complex refractive indices, enabling the simulation of formulations, including pigments. The simulation tracks trajectories of photons as they propagate through the turbid medium, calculating both angular and spatial light intensity distributions. Scalar quantities such as total transmission and reflection, and haze and diffuse reflectance, are also calculated.
