Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of color attributes of appearance on the corresponding geometric attributes of appearance of non-effect coatings. Three scales, namely gloss, distinctness of image, and orange peel for three achromatic (black, gray, and white) and four chromatic (red, green, blue, and yellow) basecoats, each at varying levels, were prepared. The gloss and the distinctness of image scales had a sample with a maximum degree of gloss and distinctness of image, respectively, and the orange peel scale had a sample with a minimum degree of orange peel, which was considered to be the standard sample. The visual differences between the standard sample and those remaining in each scale were assessed by a panel of 28 observers using a prepared one-dimensional lightness scale based on the CIELAB and CIEDE2000 color difference equations. The correlations between visual and instrumental measurements of scales were checked, and instrumental performance with respect to visually assessed equivalent differences in gloss, distinctness of image, and orange peel were determined, giving STRESS (standardized residual sum of squares) values = 24.3, 11.6, and 9.7, respectively, in terms of CIELAB. ANOVA together with simple, lasso, and ridge regressions were applied to test the effect of color on the geometric attributes of appearance. The results illustrate that color attributes of appearance have no adverse significant effect on the main geometric attributes of appearance for non-effect coatings.
