| Abstract Scope |
This work examines the color-mixing behavior of commercial ceramic stains using spectrophotometry to map pigments within the CIE-L*A*B* color space. Experimental results show that ceramic stains do not follow simple rule-of-mixtures behavior—transparent and opaque stains interact, demanding a mixing model that blends subtractive and averaging approaches. Accurate color prediction and reproducibility in ceramic glazes is a challenge in the ceramics industry and the goal of this work is to create a model to predictably populate the CIE-L*A*B* color space with defined blends of commercial ceramic pigments. |
