Color Appearance of Decorative Coatings

Abstract

The article explains the basic concepts of colorimetry and deals with issues of assessment reflectance quality of special plaster coatings in accordance with current methods of measuring spectral reflectance of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). The results demonstrate that in the case of coatings with high gloss values leads to a linear increase of chroma depending on the lightness values in the case of measuring devices fitted diffusion geometry. Conversely, if the angle-measuring instrument fitted geometry values of specific purity correlated with values of specific brightness. Analysis BRDF, respectively BSRDF function showed that the previously used dichromatic spectral reflectance model must be extended by an additional parameter explaining the correlation between chroma and lightness at the di:8 measurement geometry.
