The experimentally determined chromaticities and reflectance spectra o
f films consisting of uniform ellipsoidal or spherical colloidal hemat
ite particles are compared with calculated values and are found to be
in good agreement. The theoretical treatment of the light-scattering p
roblem involves the Mie theory for the spheres and the T-matrix method
for the ellipsoids. The reflectance spectra for the pigment films are
calculated through the use of the Kubelka-Munk analysis.
