Metallic pigments
Finely divided metals and alloys are employed as pigments for both decorative and protective purposes. The two in common use are aluminum and gold bronze.

Pearlescent pigments
Nacreous or Pearlescent Pigments were originally named for their simulation of pearly luster. The grades now available create effects that range from silky sheen to metallic luster and colors that go from white to iridescent two-color combinations.
