The invention relates to pearlescent pigments comprising a metal oxide-containing, lamellar substrate and a protective layer, the metal oxide having a refractive index of more than 1.8. The protective layer is composed of an organic-chemical surface-modified SiO<SUB>2</SUB> layer, the organic-chemical surface modification being applied to the SiO<SUB>2</SUB> layer. The invention further relates to a method for producing said pearlescent pigments and the use thereof. |
