New mica-based Lumina special effect pigments feature increased chromaticity at the reflection angle, as well as higher color purity and clarity. Factors that could contribute to this variance include use of incorrect chromaticity values derived from the saturated Farnsworth-Munsell D-15 test, rather than unsaturated D-15d test (Geller 2001; Geller and Hudnell 1997) and differences between spectrum color profiles of light sources labeled as "daylight" (Wyszecki and Stiles 1982). Both are said to offer increased chromaticity, advanced color purity and more brilliance and hiding capability. |
