Metal effect pigments, formerly referred to as bronzes, are pigments used to create an optical metallic effect, commonly also described as a metallic appearance. These pigments typically consist of platelet-shaped particles with particle diameters generally in the two- to three-digit micrometer range, although tetrahedral particle geometries have also been documented, which help prevent inhomogeneities in the metallic effect (flow lines).
