Blue/Violet Chameleon Pigment, 30–115μm – KT-97243
Pearlescent Pigments › Chameleon Series › Color Shift Pigments
KT-97243 is a blue/violet chameleon pigment in the 30–115μm particle size range, designed to deliver a visible angle-dependent color transition within the blue–violet spectrum. Based on transparent flake substrates coated with titanium dioxide, it produces a controlled color-travel effect with moderate sparkle due to its medium-coarse particle size. This grade is typically selected for decorative coatings, plastics, and specialty finishes where both color shift and flake visibility are required.
KT-97243 belongs to the Kolortek Chameleon (color-shift) pigment range, positioned as a medium-to-coarse particle grade focused on combining color travel with visible flake structure. Compared with finer grades (<25μm) used in printing inks, this product emphasizes enhanced sparkle and dynamic reflection, making it more suitable for coatings, plastics, and molded applications where visual depth and movement are required.
This particle size range is typically used where both color travel and flake visibility are desired:
| Property | Description |

| Item No. | KT-97243 |
| Color Effect | Blue / Violet color travel |
| Effect Type | Chameleon / interference-based color shift |
| Particle Size | 30–115μm |

| Recommended Systems | Coatings, plastics, decorative materials |
| Documentation | TDS / SDS available on request |
Base color: As with all chameleon pigments, a dark or black base is required to achieve visible color travel. Light substrates will significantly reduce the effect.
Dispersion: Add during the letdown stage using low-shear mixing to maintain flake integrity. Excessive shear can reduce color shift performance.
Orientation: Spray application typically provides better platelet alignment compared to brushing, improving color travel clarity in coatings.
With over 20 years of manufacturing experience, Kolortek supplies a full range of effect pigments with controlled particle size distribution and consistent optical performance. The chameleon series is produced with stable multi-layer coating processes, helping maintain batch-to-batch color consistency—a key requirement for industrial production. Technical support is available for pigment selection, formulation guidance, and application matching.
Q: What is the advantage of using 30–115μm particle size?
A: This range provides increased sparkle and visual depth compared to fine grades, making it more suitable for coatings and plastics rather than printing applications.
Q: Can this pigment be used in water-based systems?
A: Yes, it is generally compatible with water-based binders. Proper rheology control is recommended to maintain uniform dispersion and prevent settling.
Q: Does it require a specific base color?
A: Yes. A dark or black base is necessary to achieve visible color shift. Light backgrounds will reduce or eliminate the 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.
