The Amber Project: A survey of methods and inks for the reproduction of the color of translucent objects (2022)
Journal Article
Trujillo-Vazquez, A., Fuller, H., Klein, S., & Parraman, C. (2022). The Amber Project: A survey of methods and inks for the reproduction of the color of translucent objects. Applied Sciences, 12(2), Article 793. https://doi.org/10.3390/app12020793

Unlike regular pigments based on selective light absorption, the so-called “effect pigments” are based on the phenomena of structural color, or selective reflectance. Structural color has appealing aesthetic qualities, such as angle-dependent hue, an...
