Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

1 Scope
This document specifies the Saunderson correction for different measurement geometries and the
solutions of the Kubelka-Munk equation for hiding and transparent layers. It also specifies methods
for the calculations of the tinting strength including the residual colour difference based on different
criteria such as the depth of shade. Finally, methods for determining the hiding power are provided.
The procedures for preparing the samples for these measurements are not part of this document.
They are agreed between the contracting parties or are described in other national or international
standards.

3.1
tinting strength
colour strength
measure of the ability of a colourant to colour other materials because of its absorptive power
[SOURCE: ISO 18451-1:2019, 3.122]
3.2
relative tinting strength
relative colour strength
percentage ratio of the tinting strength (3.1) of the colourant under test related to the tinting strength
of a reference colourant
[SOURCE: ISO 18451-1:2019, 3.105]
3.3
tinting strength criterion
parameter that describes the colouring effect of a colourant, based on its absorption
Note 1 to entry: The tinting strength criteria used in this document are the following:
ISO 18314-2:2023(E)
— value of the Kubelka-Munk function at the absorption maximum;
— weighted sum of the Kubelka-Munk function values;
— tristimulus value Y;
— the smallest of the tristimulus values X, Y, Z;
— shade depth parameter B.
Note 2 to entry: Examples of other tinting strength parameters not used in this document are the following:
— unweighted sum of the Kubelka-Munk function values;
— chromaticity given by the three colour coordinates (L*, a*, b*);
— reflectance factor at the absorption maximum.
3.4
residual colour difference
colour difference that remains between the white reductions of the reference and test samples when
the tinting strength criterion (3.3) values are the same or have been equalized
EXAMPLE Residual colour difference is given by ΔE*.
3.5
depth of shade
shade depth
colour depth
measure for the intensity of a colour perception that increases with increasing chroma and decreases
with increasing lightness
Note 1 to entry: Colourations having the same depth of shade appear to be prepared using the same concentrations
of colourants having the same tinting strength (3.1).
[SOURCE: ISO 18451-1:2019, 3.26, modified — admitted terms “shade depth” and “colour depth” have
been added.]
3.6
standard depth of shade
standard shade depth
standard colour depth
SD
depth of shade (3.5) level laid down by convention
[SOURCE: ISO 18451-1:2019, 3.113, modified — admitted terms “standard shade depth” and “standard
colour depth” have been added.]
3.7
hiding power
ability of coating to obliterate the colour or colour differences of the substrate
Note 1 to entry: The use of the German expressions “Deckkraft” und “Deckfähigkeit” should be avoided.
Note 2 to entry: The term “coverage” is ambiguous because it is used in some instances to refer to hiding power
and in others to mean spreading rate. The more precise terms hiding power and spreading rate should always be
used.

5 Saunderson correction
5.1 General
For colorimetric calculation it is necessary to account for surface phenomena to obtain viable results.
The formulae are known as Saunderson correction, and their derivation can be found in References [1]
[3]
and [2]. The necessary coefficients are solutions of the Fresnel formulae depending on the index of
refraction for the given binder.
The formulae are derived assuming an ideal surface, a perfectly hiding layer and a perfectly diffuse
scattering of light inside the interior of the specimen. Any deviation from these assumptions shall lead
to consideration of the usefulness of the following calculations.
The formulae given here are for two of the most widespread geometries: diffuse incidence, 0°
observation (d:0°) [Formula (1), Formula (2) and Formula (3)] and 45° incidence, 0° observation (45°:0°)
[Formula (4) and Formula (5)]. In nearly every colorimeter used, the measurement angle is not 0° but
8°. This deviation is not considered problematic.
The constants necessary for the calculation are the following:
r reflection coefficient at the surface for directional light incident perpendicular from outside.
For n = 1,5 r = 0,040.
ISO 18314-2:2023(E)
reflection coefficient at the surface for directional light incident parallel under 45° from out-
r
side. For n = 1,5, r = 0,050.
r reflection coefficient for light incident diffusely from the inside of the specimen. For n =
1,5, r = 0,596.
5.2 Incidence diffuse, observation 0° (d:0°)
The constant a = 1 if a gloss trap is closed and a = 0 if the gloss trap is open and the specular reflection
is excluded.

6 Solution of the Kubelka-Munk equations
6.1 General
The Kubelka-Munk theory describes the reflection of a pigmented layer by two constants: absorption,
K(λ), and scattering, S(λ). It is based on the following assumptions:
a) ideally diffuse radiation distribution on the irradiation side;
b) ideally diffuse radiation distribution in the interior of the layer;
c) no consideration of surface phenomena resulting from the discontinuity in refractive index.
ISO 18314-2:2023(E)
For an infinitely thick, respectively hiding layer with a reflectance of R(λ) , the following solutions
∞
shown in Formula (6) and Formula (7) are found, which allow the determination of the relation between
the scattering and the absor
