A curable coating composition is provided having multi-functionalized acrylic copolymer and silicone imine resin curing agents. The acrylic copolymer of the curable coating composition has, in polymerized form, epoxy functionalized groups and cure compatibility groups and the silicone imine forms an amino-functional silicone in the presence of water. The coating compositions are useful in the field of superior weatherable and durable coatings and are useful to replace isocyanate-containing polyurethane based coatings. Also provided are coated articles produced from the curable composition.

An object of the present invention is to provide a colored resin composition comprising a squarylium dye excellent in heat resistance. The colored resin composition according to the present invention is a green colored resin composition comprising a colorant, a resin and a solvent. The colorant contains a squarylium dye, and the content percentage of the resin is 70 mass % or more based on an amount obtained by subtracting the content of the colorant and the solvent from the total amount of the green colored resin composition.
