1. An interference pigment, which consists of a low-refractive-index, transparent, flake substrate having a high-refractive-index coating consisting essentially of TiO2 having a layer thickness of 20-200 nm and optionally further coated with an outer protective layer
wherein the pigment exhibits a color flop from a short wave color at a steep viewing angle to a long wave color at a flat viewing angle, wherein the substrate has an average thickness of 0.1 to 1 μm and a size in the other two dimensions of between 5 and 200 μm, wherein the standard deviation of the thickness of the substrate flakes is ≦15%, based on their average thickness, and wherein the TiO2 is in the rutile modification and optionally contains a small amount of tin oxide for rutilization. |
