Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a method for producing a coloured metal-containing powder, which can be used as a metallic pigment, said method comprising: preparing a bulk metal-containing material in the form of powder (which acts as a particle substrate), which is a ferromanganese (FeMn) powder; and heating said material up to a temperature ranging from 100°C to 1000°C in a container, in the presence of oxygen. Preferably, the bulk powder is a refined FeMn powder. It is also an object of the invention the coloured metal-containing powder obtainable by means of the disclosed method, in the absence of surface modifiers, wherein it can have a blue, purple/violet and gold colour, or any intermediate tonality, depending on the metal oxide content. Said oxides are present forming an outer layer on the particles of the powder. The invention also refers to the use of the powder as a metallic pigment.
