The invention relates to a security document (3). To increase the security against forgery, the security document (3) comprises a substrate (2), at least one first
pigment (103) that is highly light-reflecting in a first
hue, and at least one second
pigment (203) that is highly light-reflecting in a second
hue.A representation surface (1) on the document (3) is divided into a plurality of sub-surfaces (101, 102, 202, 208, 302), wherein first sub-surfaces (101, 102) are provided with the first
pigment (103) or a first mixture of strongly light-reflecting pigments (103, 203) and second sub-surfaces (202) are provided with the second pigment (203) or a second mixture of strongly light-reflecting pigments (103, 203), and wherein first sub-surfaces (101, 102) reflect light in a first sub-surface
hue and second sub-surfaces (202) reflect light in a second sub-surface hue, and first and second sub-surfaces (101, 102, 202) are arranged in at least one direction (x, y) in an alternating manner, at least section by section, so that a viewer experiences a color impression that differs from the first and second sub-surface hues.
