Nickel–aluminum layered double hydroxides have been prepared by conventional coprecipitation and by coprecipitation in the presence of a surfactant. The solids have been characterised by several physicochemical techniques. Calcination leads to formation of homogeneously dispersed mixed oxides, which have been characterised as well. The colour properties (lightness and chromaticity coordinates) of both series of solids (layered precursors and calcined ones) have been measured. It has been found that both the preparation method and the calcination treatment have an important effect on the luminosity (whiteness/darkness) of the solids, although the effect on the precise chromaticity coordinates (green/red and blue/yellow) is less marked.
