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.

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.
