As the particle size of the individual flakes plays a significant role in generating the metallic effect, the particle size distribution is even more important to describe the total effect: the smaller the share of fine and ultra-fine particles, the higher will be the brightness, brilliance and flop, as well as the chroma in tinted systems.

On the other hand, fine particles increase the tinting strength, hiding power, gloss and distinctiveness of the image. In many applications pigments with a controlled particle size distribution are required to get optimal metallic effects.
