Abstract

Provided is a colored rigid decorative member in which scratch resistance is improved, and deterioration of appearance quality due to a flaw, abrasion, or the like is suppressed, and which has various color variations with a high quality feel. An alloy adhesion layer having a high adhesion effect, an alloy gradient adhesion layer of which the content of a reactant gas is increased in a gradient manner, an abrasion-resistant layer having high hardness, an alloy recolored gradient layer of which the content of a reactant gas is decreased in a gradient manner, and a colored decorative layer having high decorativeness and color variations on the outermost layer are formed on a base using a film with an alloy of a metal having the high effect of adhering to a metal and high brightness (metal having poor corrosion resistance; Mo, W), a metal having high film hardness and high corrosion resistance (metal having poor adhesion; Nb, Ta), and a metal improving corrosion resistance performance (Cr, Ti, Hf, Zr).
