Blue-Green to Red Color Shift Pigment, 5–25μm – KT-95102

KT-95102 is a fine particle size chameleon pigment (5–25μm) designed for applications requiring smooth surface finish and controlled color travel. It delivers a distinct blue-green to red shift, using multi-layer titanium dioxide coatings on transparent flake substrates. The fine grade makes it particularly suitable for printing inks, coatings, and cosmetic formulations where both visual effect and film uniformity are critical.
KT-95102 belongs to the fine-grade segment of Kolortek’s chameleon pigment portfolio. Compared with larger particle sizes (e.g., 20–80μm), this 5–25μm grade prioritizes surface smoothness, printability, and film uniformity over sparkle intensity. It is commonly selected for applications where coating thickness is limited or fine detail reproduction is required, such as gravure and screen printing, as well as thin coating layers.
The blue-green to red transition is achieved through multi-layer thin-film interference on highly transparent flakes. At different viewing angles, specific wavelengths are selectively reflected while others pass through and are absorbed by the background. This creates a dynamic color travel effect rather than a static tone.
In KT-95102, the shift moves from blue-green at direct angles to red at oblique angles. This complementary color pairing produces a strong visual contrast even in thin films, making it suitable for applications requiring visible effect at low film thickness.

Low shear mixing is recommended: Fine chameleon pigments can be damaged under high shear, reducing color travel intensity. Add at the letdown stage where possible.
Base color selection: A dark or black substrate is required to achieve clear blue-green to red color shift. Light-colored bases will significantly reduce the effect.
Loading guidance: Typical usage ranges from 5–15% depending on system transparency and film thickness. Lower loading can still produce visible effect due to fine particle distribution.
With over 20 years of experience in effect pigment manufacturing, Kolortek supplies a broad range of chameleon pigments with consistent coating quality and particle size control. Our portfolio covers both fine and coarse grades, allowing formulators to match performance requirements across different applications.
Technical support is available for grade selection, dispersion methods, and application compatibility. Documentation such as TDS and SDS can be provided upon request.
Q: Why choose a 5–25μm chameleon pigment instead of 20–80μm?
A: The 5–25μm grade provides smoother surface finish and better compatibility with printing systems and thin coatings, while larger sizes provide stronger sparkle and visual texture.
Q: Can this pigment be used in printing inks?
A: Yes. Fine particle size makes it suitable for gravure and screen printing systems, but mesh size and ink formulation should be verified during trials.
Q: Does it require a specific base color?
A: Yes. A dark or black base is required to achieve the full color shift effect.

This chameleon paint pigment delivers strong angle-dependent color flow — shifting through pairs like green/red, blue/violet, and gold/green as the viewing angle changes. Supplied as a dry, free-flowing color shift pigment powder, it works in clear-coat automotive systems, custom refinish, and high-end industrial coatings. The same chameleon paint pearls also carry over well into plastics, inks, and synthetic leather where a flip-flop effect is needed.

The KT-9000 Magic Chameleon Series delivers dramatic angle-dependent color shifts through multi-layer metal-oxide coatings on natural mica. We engineered this color travel pigment line to give formulators precise control over goniochromatic effects — from duochrome Clear Chameleon variants shifting Cyan-Blue-Purple-Red through multicolor grades traveling across four or more hues. Particle size ranges from ultra-fine 5–25μm (smooth coverage, satin finish) to extra-large 100–250μm (maximum sparkle, decorative coatings), with TiO₂-based and TiO₂-free options for different substrate and regulatory requirements.

Dynamic color shift chameleon pigment produces a dramatic, angle-dependent color travel effect — where the observed hue shifts continuously as the viewing or light angle changes. At Kolortek, we supply this effect through the KT-9000 Magic Chameleon Series: multi-layer iron oxide and metal oxide coatings on natural mica, available in duochrome (two-color) and multicolor (three-plus color) variants across particle sizes from 5–25μm up to 100–250μm. The effect is most striking on dark or black substrates and is widely specified in automotive custom finishes, high-end cosmetics, luxury packaging, and anti-counterfeiting applications.

Kolortek's KT-924** mauve chameleon pigment delivers a continuous angular color travel from clear mauve through red, orange, and into yellow — a goniochromatic shift driven by multi-layer thin-film interference on a synthetic mica substrate. Available in particle sizes from 5–25 μm (cosmetic satin) up to 100–250 μm (maximum sparkle), the series is formulated to meet cosmetic-grade heavy metal limits and is compatible with both water-based and solvent-based systems. For formulators specifying a mauve chameleon pigment in high-end color cosmetics, nail art, or decorative coatings, the KT-924** is the series to evaluate first.

KT-95125 is a TiO₂-free chameleon pigment from our KT-9000 Magic Chameleon Series that delivers a dramatic four-color shift—blue-green to blue to violet to red—as the viewing angle changes. With a coarse 100–250 µm particle size and natural mica substrate coated with iron oxide and silica, this blue-green chameleon pigment produces intense sparkle and color travel on dark substrates, making it a go-to choice for automotive custom finishes, luxury packaging, cosmetic nail art, and decorative coatings where maximum visual impact is required.

KT-95525 delivers a dramatic red-to-yellow-green color travel across viewing angles, built on a TiO₂-free multi-layer coating (Fe₂O₃ + Silica on natural mica) with extra-large 100–250 μm particles for maximum sparkle and decorative impact. This chameleon pigment is engineered for high-end automotive refinish, luxury cosmetics, and security printing where bold goniochromatic effects on dark substrates are essential.

KT-95407 delivers a dramatic four-color transition — mauve to red to orange to yellow — as the viewing angle changes. Built on natural mica with multi-layer oxide coatings (TiO₂, Fe₂O₃, silica), this chameleon pigment shows the strongest effect over dark substrates and is used in automotive custom finishes, high-end cosmetics, luxury packaging, and anti-counterfeiting applications. Particle size is 10–70 μm (D50: 24–28 μm), making it suitable for spray coatings, screen printing, and nail lacquers where a bold angle-dependent color shift is the design goal.
