Method for producing a security document comprising the steps of: providing at least one substrate layer; applying a color pattern consisting of at least two different types of respectively mono-colored color fields onto a surface of the at least one substrate layer or in the inside of the at least one substrate layer, wherein the different types of color fields generate different color impressions of primary color tints of a gamut; providing at least one additional substrate layer having at least one planar metal field, which is opaque in the visible wavelength range, or providing the at least one additional substrate layer and applying the at least one planar metal field, which is opaque in the visible wavelength range, onto a surface of the at least one substrate layer or onto a surface of the at least one additional substrate layer; compiling the at least one substrate layer and the at least one additional substrate layer in a manner such that neither the color pattern nor the at least one planarly extended metal field, which is opaque in the visible wavelength range, are arranged on a top side or bottom side of the substrate layer stack, and the at least one planarly extended metal field planarly superimposes the color pattern in at least one continuous region with respect to a viewing direction through one top side of the substrate layer stack; joining the substrate layers stack to a document body in a lamination method; inserting perforations into the metal field by means of laser radiation in such a manner that the perforations are arranged register-true to each of one of the color fields with respect to a prescribed viewing direction through the top side of the document body so that a colored information is coded by interaction of the color fields exposed by the perforations for viewing through the top side of the lamination body, and introducing opaque laser markings into material of the document body, which is transparent in the visible wavelength range, between the top side of the document body and the metal field by means of laser radiation, which complement the colored information in a register-true manner. providing at least one substrate layer; applying a color pattern consisting of at least two different types of respectively mono-colored color fields onto a surface of the at least one substrate layer or in the inside of the at least one substrate layer, wherein the different types of color fields generate different color impressions of primary color tints of a gamut; providing at least one additional substrate layer having at least one planar metal field, which is opaque in the visible wavelength range, or providing the at least one additional substrate layer and applying the at least one planar metal field, which is opaque in the visible wavelength range, onto a surface of the at least one substrate layer or onto a surface of the at least one additional substrate layer; compiling the at least one substrate layer and the at least one additional substrate layer in a manner such that neither the color pattern nor the at least one planarly extended metal field, which is opaque in the visible wavelength range, are arranged on a top side or bottom side of the substrate layer stack, and the at least one planarly extended metal field planarly superimposes the color pattern in at least one continuous region with respect to a viewing direction through one top side of the substrate layer stack; joining the substrate layers stack to a document body in a lamination method; inserting perforations into the metal field by means of laser radiation in such a manner that the perforations are arranged register-true to each of one of the color fields with respect to a prescribed viewing direction through the top side of the document body so that a colored information is coded by interaction of the color fields exposed by the perforations for viewing through the top side of the lamination body, and introducing opaque laser markings into material of the document body, which is transparent in the visible wavelength range, between the top side of the document body and the metal field by means of laser radiation, which complement the colored information in a register-true manner.
