Leading colourant manufacturers have introduced
new generation pigments that offer colour designers unlimited styling
opportunities.
New consumer products such as automotive paints have been introduced
with colours that change according to the angle of viewing. The
colours would reflect a flowing or a streamlike effect and a shimmering
effect. The colour changes would be apparent even under subdued
light conditions. These colourants are based on synthetic mica with
platelet crystal structure. These changes in colour bring about
life in the products. Infact, some of the new colours and trends
in the years to come, will provide energy, vitality, fluidity, luminosity,
tranquility, sprituality or even mysticism and dualism.
This new trend will shift from automobiles to other consumer products
in the near future. Infact, 2002 will see quite a many consumer
products that will have living colours.
Also available are pigments which change color with light, temperature
and touch.
