Abstract:Using CIE LAB color system, the metal color was described by lightness index L* and chromatic indexes such as a* and b*. The theories of solid physics and chromatics were introduced into the color calculation of chromaticity. Based on the optical constants, the reflectivity and color of eight pure metals such as Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Al, Zn, Mn, and Ti were computed theoretically. Then, the calculated colors were compared with the measured ones. The results show that the calculated chromatic indexes are convincible because the physical calculation can avoid the errors from the color measurement and the sample condition such as roughness and oxidation. The color differences of eight metals and the origin of the metal color were also illustrated.
Key words: metal; color; chromaticity
