Abstract
Techniques and compositions are described for reflective coatings and pigments for reflecting electromagnetic radiation, such as visible and solar near-infrared light. In one aspect, a reflective coating includes a base layer having a reflective surface, and an absorber layer formed on the reflective surface of the base layer, in which the reflective coating provides an average reflectance of electromagnetic radiation for wavelengths in the range of 900 nm to 2500 nm irradiated upon the reflective coating greater than substantially 70%, and provides an average reflectance of electromagnetic radiation for wavelengths in the range of 400 nm to 700 nm irradiated upon the reflective coating of less than 40%.
