Evaluation of color shading defects on anti-reflection coating is described. Color shading defects are caused by disturbance of coating thickness. The defect is observed as slight color difference. The relation between thickness disturbance and color difference is shown by using a simulation method. MacAdam's ellipsoid is effective to judge the quality of anti-reflection coating to pass or fail. Variation of color difference with thickness and observation angle is evaluated. Designing method of coating thickness, in which color shading is maintained a low profile, is suggested.
