A new approach to optimizing pigmented coatings considering both thermal and aesthetic effects
TL;DR: In this paper, a new optimization method was proposed to maximize the reflectivity of the near infrared (NIR) region to reduce thermal heating, while for aesthetic appeal they also minimize the visible (VIS) reflected energy received by human eyes, especially at wavelengths where eye sensitivity is high.
