What Are Special Effects Pigments?
Special effect pigments are advanced materials that impart dynamic visual effects such as metallic shine, glitter, iridescence, colour-changing effects, and glow to a wide variety of surfaces and products. Unlike traditional pigments, which primarily provide a flat, uniform colour, special effects pigments offer much more than basic colouration. They create distinctive visual characteristics that can change depending on factors such as lighting conditions, viewing angle, and the surrounding environment.
The appearance of special effect pigments can vary as the light or viewing angle changes, creating an engaging visual experience.
