Olivine/Violet Colour Shifting Pigment, 20–80μm – KT-90593
KT-90593 is an Olivine/Violet colour shifting pigment in the 20–80μm particle size range, developed within the Kolortek Chameleon Series of pearlescent pigments. This pigment is built on highly transparent flake crystals coated with titanium dioxide, enabling a clear angle-dependent color travel from an olivine green tone at the face angle to violet at oblique viewing angles.

Olivine/Violet Colour Shifting Pigment, 20–80μm – KT-90593
Pearlescent Pigments › Chameleon Series › Color Shift Pigments
KT-90593 is an Olivine/Violet colour shifting pigment in the 20–80μm particle size range, developed within the Kolortek Chameleon Series of pearlescent pigments. This pigment is built on highly transparent flake crystals coated with titanium dioxide, enabling a clear angle-dependent color travel from an olivine green tone at the face angle to violet at oblique viewing angles. The shift between these hues creates a noticeable visual transition used in automotive coatings, decorative finishes, plastics, specialty printing, and nail products where dynamic color movement is required. The 20–80μm grade offers a balanced combination of visual intensity, surface coverage, and process compatibility across multiple coating and formulation systems.
KT-90593 belongs to the Kolortek Chameleon (Color Shift) Pigment Series, a category of special effect pigments designed to produce visible color travel when viewed from different angles. Within the broader Kolortek effect pigment portfolio, this series sits alongside pearlescent, interference, and holographic pigments, but differs in that it provides a continuous transition between two distinct hues rather than a single interference color. The olivine-to-violet shift provides a cool-to-contrast transition that works well in coatings and plastics where multi-angle appearance is an important design feature.
| Application | How the Pigment is Used |
|---|---|
| Automotive and industrial coatings | Provides multi-angle color shift in chameleon paint systems applied over dark basecoats. |
| Decorative coatings | Used in furniture finishes, architectural accents, and design-focused coatings requiring dynamic color effects. |
| Plastics | Integrated into molded or extruded plastic parts to create shifting color appearances. |
| Nail and cosmetic products | Used in nail lacquer and specialty cosmetic formulations where color travel is desirable. |
| Specialty printing | Applied in decorative and security printing where visual differentiation is required. |

Chameleon pigments perform best when the platelet structure remains intact and well oriented in the coating film or polymer matrix. Low to moderate shear mixing is typically recommended during the letdown stage rather than high-energy dispersion processes that may damage the flake structure. The optical effect is also strongly influenced by the base color beneath the pigment layer; dark or black backgrounds generally allow the color travel effect to be observed more clearly.
Kolortek has more than 20 years of experience producing effect pigments for coatings, plastics, inks, and cosmetic applications. Our chameleon pigment range is manufactured with controlled multi-layer coating processes to maintain consistent color travel performance between batches. In addition to standard grades, Kolortek supports product selection, particle size guidance, and color development for specific application requirements across industrial and decorative markets.
Q: What determines the strength of the color shift effect?
A: The visual shift depends on viewing angle, lighting conditions, and the orientation of pigment flakes within the coating or material. Proper film formation and platelet alignment are important for achieving a clear color transition.
Q: Can KT-90593 be used in plastic processing?
A: Yes. Chameleon pigments are commonly used in injection-molded and extruded plastic parts where decorative or design-driven appearance effects are required. Processing conditions should be optimized to maintain pigment integrity and visual performance.
Q: Are different particle sizes available for printing or coatings?
A: Yes. The Chameleon Series includes particle sizes from <15μm up to 250μm. Finer grades are generally selected for printing or thinner coatings, while larger grades are used where stronger visual sparkle or coverage is required.

KT-92230 is a multichrome pigment that shifts through a full blue-purple-red-orange sequence as the viewing angle changes — one of the broadest color-travel arcs we produce in the KT-9000 series. Built on a natural mica substrate with a multi-layer TiO₂/Fe₂O₃/silica/tin oxide coating, it comes in a 25–130 μm particle size that delivers strong angular contrast and high visual impact across automotive finishes, decorative coatings, and specialty printing.

KT-92330 is a multi-layer interference pigment from Kolortek's KT-9000 Magic Chameleon Series, producing a continuous color shift sequence — indigo through purple, red, orange, and yellow — as the viewing angle changes. Built on natural mica coated with TiO₂, silica, and tin oxide, it delivers a high-mirror goniochromatic effect with a 25–130 μm particle size distribution engineered for maximum visual impact. This color shifting pigment powder performs best over dark or black substrates, where the full angular color travel is most legible.

KT-92630 is a large-particle chameleon paint pearl from our KT-9000 Magic Chameleon Series, producing a sequential golden-to-kelly-green-to-blue color travel as the viewing angle shifts. With a 25–130 μm particle range, it delivers high visual impact in automotive custom finishes, decorative coatings, and specialty applications where a pronounced, multi-stop color flip is the goal. The substrate is natural mica with a multi-layer TiO₂/SiO₂/metal-oxide coating that generates the goniochromatic interference effect.

KT-92175 is the large-particle grade of our chameleon pigment for resin, built on a natural mica substrate with a multi-layer TiO₂, silica, and tin oxide coating that produces a continuous cyan-to-blue-to-purple-to-red angle-dependent color shift. At 75–175μm, it is the highest-sparkle option in the KT-9000 Magic Chameleon Series' KT-921** Cyan-Blue-Purple-Red range. Compatible with epoxy and UV resin at loadings of 1–10% by weight, the effect reads strongest on dark or black substrates where the goniochromatic shift has maximum contrast.

KT-92275 is a large-particle duochrome loose pigment from our KT-9000 Magic Chameleon Series, delivering a full blue-purple-red-orange color travel sequence that shifts continuously across the visible spectrum as the viewing angle changes. With a particle size range of 75–175 μm, this grade is engineered specifically for applications where maximum sparkle is the priority — loose eyeshadow, nail art toppers, and high-impact decorative cosmetics where the angular shift needs to read clearly against the skin or a dark base.

KT-92375 is a large-particle ghost chameleon pigment from Kolortek's KT-9000 Magic Chameleon Series, delivering a continuous five-stage color shift — indigo → purple → red → orange → yellow — as the viewing angle changes. Built on natural mica coated with titanium dioxide, silica, and tin oxide, it carries a particle size of 75–175 μm for maximum sparkle. We developed this grade specifically for high-impact automotive finishes, custom coatings, and luxury decorative applications where a dramatic, angle-dependent color shift is the primary design goal.
