Patent ID: 8535772

Claim:
A colored article having visual haze in the absence of an effective amount of one or more light absorbing compositions at a single continuous portion of the colored article; the colored article comprising a thermoplastic polymer matrix; a plurality of domains in said 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 each having a dimension in an axial plane of the colored article, wherein the 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 multi-layer construction; and said effective amount of at least one or more light absorbing compositions absorbs light in a region of the visible spectrum at wavelengths corresponding to at least some of the dimensions of said domains in the range of 400 to 700 so that the visual haze of the colored article as compared to the visual haze that is present in the absence of the effective amount of one or more light absorbing compositions at said single continuous portion is reduced when the colored article is viewed in a line of sight perpendicular to said single continuous portion of the colored article.
