Abstract

Cost-effective techniques for the quantification of metallic appearance, sometimes called metallic brilliance, have been elusive. The present study presents preliminary and exploratory research using prototypes and a commercially available gloss meter with goniophotometric capabilities, with a goal of informing further exploration of this increasingly important topic.
