A two-tone film comprises a first paint film (4) and a second paint film (6) formed adjacent to the first paint film (4), each of the first paint film (4) and the second paint film (6) including pigment comprising a ceramic flake substrate, an inorganic thin film layer formed on the surface of the substrate, and glittering portions comprising metal dots or alloy dots formed on the surface of the thin film layer. The pigment of the first paint film (4) has a different ratio of the total areas of the glittering portions to the entire surface area of the thin film layer from the pigment of the second paint film (6). Thus, brightness of the two paint films (4, 6) are reversed between a view at the front and a view in an oblique angle.
