The influence of organic matter and iron oxides on the colour properties of an ultra-high purity micritic limestone from Kefalonia Island containing 99.7% calcite was studied. Colouring impurities, organic matter and iron-oxide, were added in the form of a xylitic lignite and a hematite-rich Fe-ore respectively. Both impurities decrease lightness (L*) and increase deviation from perfect white diffuser (AE*ab) as well as redness and yellowness of calcite. Organic matter affects colour properties to a greater degree than iron oxides. The results obtained were used in a model, which predicts lightness and AE*ab of white limestones and marbles from their Fe2Ü3 and organic carbon content. The theoretical values of L* and AE*ab of a series of known limestones and calcific marbles obtained from this model are comparable to experimental values determined using a colourimeter. Slight deviations between theoretical and experimental values are attributed to several factors, which include the different nature of iron oxides/oxyhydroxides (goethite or/and lepidocrocite and/or amorphous Fe-oxyhydroxides instead of hematite) and organic matter (kerogene instead of xylitic lignite) present in the carbonate rocks, the different particle size of calcite and impurities in the different carbonates, to the multiphase nature of the colouring impurities used in this study and to the possible existence of other Fe-rich phases such as Fe-carbonates in the limestones. The proposed model can facilitate quality control of limestone resources used as fillers and can be extended to dolomitic rocks. (EN)
