I've seen that mentioned elsewhere... but for microwaves I've found even the
charcoal colored aluminum seems to work pretty well ( I can't quantify that,
but certainly you can still get more than 20 db). I suspect that
conductivity between strands is more important when you have near-field
issues, or the screen is not flat (like going around a corner or
something).
I should add that I have ScotchTint on most of my car windows, and I'm very
happy with it (I have amber metallic, which has been
discontinued...unfortunately most of the ones they make for cars now are
designed to let microwaves through!).
