Patent ID: 8057874

Claim:
A colored article having visual haze in the absence of an effective amount of one or more light absorbing compositions; the colored article comprising a thermoplastic polymer matrix; a plurality of domains in a single continuous portion of the colored article wherein said domains are dispersed in the polymer matrix and encompass at least one incompatible filler; and the effective amount of one or more light absorbing compositions; with said domains having a range of dimensions in an axial plane of the colored article, wherein said dimensions of at least some of said domains in said axial plane of the colored article fall within a range of from about 400 nm to about 700 nm; and wherein the colored article is of a single-layer construction; and said effective amount of one or more light absorbing compositions absorbs light in a region of the visible spectrum at wavelengths that at least substantially correlates to the dimensions of said domains in the range of 400 to 700 nm thereby substantially masking the visual haze that is present in the absence of the effective amount of one or more light absorbing compositions at said single continuos portion when the colored article is viewed in a line of sight perpendicular to said single continuous portion of the colored article.
