Who Says a Rainbow Has to Be Colorful?

For 40 years, The Shepherd Color Company has been producing a wide range of high-performance color pigments, many of which are infrared reflecting (IR) Black pigments. Our Black pigments for coatings and plastics all vary in masstone jetness, Total Solar Reflectance (TSR), and tint strength, the three main properties of an IR Black pigment. This forms the foundation of the ‘Black Rainbow’. Find what products make up the Shepherd Color ‘Black Rainbow’ here.
