Mica Interference Green

Description: Mica interference colors are produced by depositing precisely controlled layers of titanium dioxide & silica onto a mica substrate. The characteristic single reflection color of each pigment is an optical effect caused by light interference. Through controlled thickness of the TiO2 layer, all colors of the rainbow can be achieved. The effect is best observed when the pigment particles are oriented in parallel to maximize reflection. White appearance but transforms into color when applied on skin. The end result is a range of the most stunning interference colors yet seen.
