Classification
Colloquially as well as in color sample cards from paint processors (e.g. automobile manufacturers), the effect paints are sometimes further subdivided into metallic paints , pearl effect paints and interference paints . The background to this subdivision is the visual appearance (metallic glitter, paints with a lightness or shade flop), which is determined by the type of effect pigments contained. However, this subdivision is not exact, since most effect paints contain more than one type of effect pigment.
