Methods for making compositions of materials for forming coatings and layered structures including elements for scattering and passing selectively tunable wavelengths of electromagnetic energy

A method for making an aerosol-deliverable material composition, comprising:

• providing a substantially transparent liquid binder material;
• and
• suspending a plurality of particles in the liquid binder material, each of the plurality of particles comprising:
• a spherical core comprised of a first transparent dielectric material, the spherical core having a value of a physical diameter equal to a half wavelength of a first selected color of light component to be reflected by the particle modified by a refractive index of the first transparent dielectric material;
• a plurality of material layers formed on the spherical core, each of the plurality of material layers being comprised at least a second transparent dielectric material, and having a value of a physical thickness equal to a quarter wavelength of at least a second selected color of light component to be reflected by the particle modified by a refractive index of the at least the second transparent dielectric material;
• and
• an applied outer coating comprised of another transparent dielectric material having a selected index of refraction of 2 or less, the applied outer coating having a thickness that substantially eliminates reflective interference between the colors reflected by adjacent particles when in contact with one another.
