“…These two factors of color and gloss are generally not independent, for example it is common to perceive the color of a surface being less intense for matte finishes compared to glossy ones [2,4,5,7,8]; clear coatings have similarly been noted to reduce the color intensity of underlying surfaces [9]. Surface topography affects both color and gloss and can be referring to purposefully applied surface textures, macroscopic defects like sink marks and weld lines, or microscopic defects like microcracking, poor pigment and filler dispersion [10][11][12], or crystalline rearrangement [3].…”
