Colour Transition Paint: Blue to Mauve
This paint now exhibits a subtle sparkle effect. The video below still demonstrates our older paint without any sparkle.
Colours and effects
The colour of this paint changes from Blue to Mauve as the viewing angle changes. Shades of Silver, Purple and Violet can also be observed at various angles. The colours are very characteristic of mother-of-pearl so this paint can be used to create mother-of-pearl effects.
It is translucent so the background colour will always influence the final appearance. This paint shows the most colour, largest shift in colours and greatest number of colours when painted over a black surface. It shows very weak colour effects when painted over white.

Suggested applications
- Create your acrylic artwork including some black. Once sufficiently dry, use a paint brush to apply this paint over black areas to achieve awesome iridescent colour shift effects.
- Paint exciting art on a black canvas.
- Use it as a paint in acrylic pours to achieve iridescent colour shifting effects. Most effective using Dutch Pour technique over black.
- Perfect for cupboard doors. Paint these with a black sheen paint and then apply this Colour Transition Paint over the black. You will see the change in colour as the doors open and close and as you walk past.
- Paint your table top with a sheen black and apply this Colour Shift Paint over the black. You can place a sheet of glass or even a layer of clear resin over the paint once it has dried for a few days.
- Paint a feature wall with a black sheen paint and apply this Colour Transition Paint over the black. The wall will appear different colours along its length.
- Generally used to create iridescent mother-of-pearl and colour effects.
Important points
This is a special effect paint that reflects and refracts light in unique ways to generate a range of visible colours. The underlying colour and texture of a surface will influence the appearance. This paint creates creative opportunities that were previously not available. Although you can apply more than one coat you will reduce the colour shift effect with additional coats.
Comparing all our Colour Transition Paints
Fuchsia to Gold: This paint has good opacity and thus gives a similar effect over black, white and colours. With two coats it can completely hide the colours underneath it.
Silver Green to Burgundy: This paint is semi-translucent and the effect it gives is dependent on the colour it is painted over. It gives the strongest colour shift effect over black. On white it tends to look burgundy and does not shift colour significantly. Recommended to paint over black.
Blue to Mauve: This paint is translucent and its effect is highly dependent on the colour it is painted over. It has a strong colour effect on black and very weak colour effect on white. Excellent for mother-of-pearl effects. Recommended to paint over black.
Olive Green to Blue: This paint is translucent and its effect is highly dependent on the colour it is painted over. It has a strong colour effect on black and weak colour effect on white. When painted onto white the colour shift is from pale green to pale pink. Recommended to paint over black.
