In order to provide a color metallic pigment capable of implementing diverse colors, excellent in finished appearance and weather resistance and manufacturable by a safe and simple manufacturing method, a color metallic pigment comprising metal particles and a single-layer or multilayer coat covering the surface of each metal particle characterized in that at least one layer of the single-layer or multilayer coat is a cobalt coat consisting of an anhydrous oxide film elementally containing cobalt is provided. This cobalt coat preferably contains a compound in composition expressed by at least one type of composition selected from a group consisting of CoO, Co 2 O 3 , Co 3 O 4 , nCoO.mAl 2 O 3 and nCoO.mSiO 2 (n, m: arbitrary positive real numbers). |
