A silicon oxide-coated oxide composition for coating is disclosed in which color characteristics, particularly reflectivity are controlled, and a method of producing a composition for coating is disclosed which is used by blending the composition for coating to a paint constituting a coated body in which weather resistance is required. The silicon oxide-coated oxide composition for coating in which weather resistance is required includes silicon oxide-coated oxide particles wherein at least a part of the surface of the oxide particles is coated with silicon oxide, wherein the silicon oxide is amorphous for the purpose of controlling color characteristics of the silicon oxide-coated oxide composition for coating. The method of producing the composition for coating, wherein color characteristics of the oxide particles are controlled, includes producing the oxide particles by selecting presence or absence of amorphous silicon oxide covering at least a part of the surface of the oxide particles, and presence or absence of an acetyl group as a functional group contained in the silicon oxide-coated oxide particles.
