Colour Shift Pearl Pigments

Also known as: Chameleon Pigments, Colour Shift Pigments & Colour Travel Pigments

Create unique effects in Paints, Resin Art, Arts & Crafts, Slime and Nail Products.

Beautiful Iridescent Pearlescent Pigments that change colour as the angle of viewing changes.

Applications

Added to clear paints for many applications including automotive paints. We also use these pigments to manufacture paints for feature walls, general décor and arts & crafts.
It is normal to add these pigments into resin that is cast in a thin layer over a black background (over black acrylic paint or a black resin layer).
Not specifically certified as a cosmetic product but safe for use in nail products and in slime.

Appearance

Most only create a strong colour and strong colour shift when applied over a black background. Fuchsia to Gold is an exception and gives the same effect over any colour.

At direct angles they appear one colour (the first colour in the name) and at flat angles they appear another colour (the second colour in the name). During transition between the two main colours a number of other colours are visible, some only at very specific angles. The actual effect you see will depend on film thickness and background colour.

The colour shift effects are awesome. On curved surfaces all the colours are visible at the same time to a single observer because the viewing angle changes around the curve. On small flat surfaces the observer or the object has to move to see the changing colours. On long flat surfaces (such as a wall) all colours can be visible at the same time as the viewing angle is different between close and far-off parts of the object. Colour changing effects are seen around curves of vehicles and as a vehicle drives past.

Very strong colour shift effects can be realized when these pigments are applied over a black background. Only Fuchsia to Gold gives a strong colour and colour shift when applied over white.

This does not imply that they should not be applied over white but their colour and colour shift will be subtle. Sometimes the sudtle effect is exactly what is required.

Blue to Mauve Chameleon Pigment

This pigment appears a light grey colour in its container. In the picture of a finger (curved surface) the colour changes from blue to mauve. The strip picture shows a clear transition from blue to mauve (although in the picture the mauve looks a bit darker). This clear change from blue to mauve is best seen when the pigment is applied over a black surface. We also included pictures of a thin film of pigment smeared onto a black surface. At a direct angle a blue colour is visible while at a flat angle a mauve colour is visible. Violet and reddish colours are also seen at transition viewing angles.

Silver-Green to Burgundy Chameleon Pigment

This pigment is a reddish colour in its container. In the picture of a finger (curved surface) the colour changes from silver to burgundy, no green is visible. A clear change from green to burgundy is best seen when the pigment is applied over a black surface so we also included pictures of a thin film of pigment smeared onto a black surface. At a direct angle a green colour is visible while at a flat angle a burgundy colour is visible. Sometimes the burgundy colour can appear more raspberry. In some applications the colour transition is from silver to burgundy while in other applications it is from green to burgundy (mainly dependent on background colour). During the transition, visible colours include Violet, Purple, Magenta and Crimson.

Fuchsia to Gold Chameleon Pigment

This pigment is a fuchsia colour in its container. It can be used over any colour background without influencing its colour or colour shift. A distinct colour change from fuchsia to gold takes place as viewing angle changes. This is well demonstrated in the pictures of the strip and of the same finger with same pigment viewed at two different angles. During the transition, visible colours include Orange and Deep Silver shades.

Olive Green to Blue Chameleon Pigment

This pigment appears whitish in its container. A distinct colour change from an olive green colour to blue takes place as viewing angle changes. This clear change from olive green to blue is best seen when the pigment is applied over a black surface. The picture of the strip shows the colour change perfectly. The shade of blue can vary from turquoise to a very rich blue depending mainly on the background colour and the amount of pigment used.

Purple to Champagne Chameleon Pigment

This pigment appears whitish in its container. A distinct colour change from a purple colour to a neutral champagne colour takes place as viewing angle changes. in some lighting the champagne colour can appear a little more bronze. This clear change from purple to champagne or bronze is best seen when the pigment is applied over a black surface. The picture of the black/white card shows the two main colours.
