Abstract

Abstract: Color tolerances of curved gonio‐apparent panels have been studied in this work. To achieve that, an experimental set‐up of the illumination and tilt variation of two identical coated panels was designed for simulation of curved panels with both concave and convex borders and with and without effect pigments (perceived as solid and gonio‐apparent colors, respectively). Finally, visual and instrumental measures were collected with both curvatures. The results show that the relationship of the instrumental color difference with the tilt angle can be modeled by a second‐order and the vertex did not depend on illumination, but on coating type. The critical angles (the angle marked when the color discrepancy between two identical samples is merely perceived) assessed by the observers showed that they were not equal according to border, nor according to coating type. The color tolerances at these angles were clearly higher than the conventional chromatic thresholds of industrial color comparisons.
