A composite pigment including a first cholesteric liquid crystal pigment and a second cholesteric liquid crystal pigment, the first cholesteric liquid crystal pigment being a pigment in which the central wavelength of the selective reflection band thereof is in a wavelength range of 400 nm to 800 nm, and in which the selective reflection bandwidth is 150 nm or less, the bandwidth of selective reflection of wavelengths 200 nm or greater of the second cholesteric liquid crystal pigment being in a wavelength range of 400 nm to 800 nm, the selective reflection band of the first cholesteric liquid crystal pigment and the selective reflection band of the second cholesteric liquid crystal pigment at least partially overlapping, and the content of the first cholesteric liquid crystal pigment with respect to the total quantity of the first cholesteric liquid crystal pigment and the second cholesteric liquid crystal pigment being more than 0 wt% to no more than 30 wt%. |
