Pearl-Based Hypershift Pigments
📌 Definition
Pearl-based hypershift pigments are advanced effect pigments made from high-quality pearlescent bases that create a color-shifting or “chameleon” effect. Depending on the viewing angle and lighting, the pigment shifts smoothly between two or more colors, giving surfaces a dynamic, multi-dimensional appearance.
📌 Uses
-
Automotive & Coatings – Custom car paints, motorbikes, helmets, powder coatings.
-
Cosmetics – Eyeshadows, lip glosses, nail polishes (using cosmetic-grade pigments).
-
Plastics & Polymers – Decorative plastic parts, mobile cases, lifestyle products.
-
Fashion & Textiles – Heat-transfer vinyls, synthetic leather, performance costumes.
-
Arts & Crafts – Resin art, epoxy jewelry, ornaments, DIY projects.
-
Packaging & Printing – Luxury packaging, security printing, labels.
📌 Effect on Base Colors
The base coat color strongly influences the final look of hypershift pigments:
-
Black Base → Maximum color-shift effect; deep, vibrant transition between colors.
-
Dark Colors (navy, maroon, forest green) → Strong hypershift effect, slightly tinted by the base.
-
Medium Colors (red, blue, yellow) → Noticeable shift, but mixed with undertones of the base color.
-
White & Light Bases → Much softer, pearlescent effect; shift appears delicate and pastel-like.
-
Transparent / Clear Base → Creates a floating, layered effect, often used in resin art.
✅ Summary:
Pearl-based hypershift pigments offer a chameleon-like visual effect that changes with light and viewing angle. They are best showcased on black or dark bases for dramatic shifts, while lighter bases provide subtle elegance.
